Treaties with Indian Tribes C.A.2, 2025. Com. (h) quot. in sup. Indian tribe that was recognized under New York law filed an action against New York environmental conservation department and its commissioner, challenging the enforcement of state regulations that prohibited the harvesting of American glass eels on the basis that the regulations were preempted by a 1676 treaty known as the Andros Order between the tribe and the Royal Governor of New York. The district court granted summary judgment for department and commissioner. This court affirmed, holding that the Andros Order was not binding federal law, and therefore, did not preempt New York's regulations governing the harvesting of American glass eels in New York waters that were not on the tribe's reservation. The court cited Restatement of the Law of American Indians § 5 in reasoning that Indian treaties like the Andros Order, which were made with American colonies or states before the Articles of Confederation, were not treaties entitled to status under the Supremacy Clause.
