HERRERA v. WYOMING 

Opinion of the Court 

853, 856 (1985) (stating that the Federal Government may 
not  be  foreclosed  from  using  land  in  such  a  way  that  the 
Indians would have considered it occupied).

Second, the state trial court decided that Wyoming could
regulate  the  exercise  of  the  1868  Treaty  right  “in 
interest  of  conservation.”  Nos.  CT–2015–2687, 
the 
CT–2015–2688,  App.  to  Pet.  for  Cert.  39–41;  see  Antoine, 
420  U. S.,  at  207.    The  appellate  court  did  not  reach  this
issue.    No.  2016–242,  App.  to  Pet.  for  Cert.  14,  n. 3.    On 
remand, the State may press its arguments as to why the
application of state conservation regulations to Crow Tribe 
members exercising the 1868 Treaty right is necessary for 
conservation.  We  do  not  pass  on  the  viability  of  those
arguments today.

* 
The  judgment  of  the  Wyoming  District  Court  of  the 
Fourth Judicial District, Sheridan County, is vacated, and 
the  case  is  remanded  for  further  proceedings  not  incon-
sistent with this opinion. 

* 

It is so ordered.
