 In 1962 , tribal members Joseph L. <unk> , William J. <unk> , and Francis <unk> were charged with violating state hunting and fishing regulations . All three admitted to the acts in open court , but claimed that the Wolf River Treaty gave them the right to hunt . The state trial court agreed and acquitted the three . The state was given leave to pursue a writ of error and appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to answer whether the Termination Act canceled those rights retained by treaty .
