*524MOSK, J.
I concur in the majority opinion.
In doing so, however, I wonder about the appearance of consistency when the court defers to federal control of Indian lands in a case involving billboards, after holding that traditional Indian hunting and fishing rights must yield to state control in a case involving fish and game laws. (In re Wilson (1981) 30 Cal.3d 21 [177 Cal.Rptr. 336, 634 P.2d 363]; but see dis. opn. by Mosk, J., and Newman, J., at p. 37 ff.)
To offer a more convincing rationale in the instant matter, and to provide a recognizable pattern in the law, we should take this opportunity to overrule Wilson.
The petition of respondent Department of Transportation for a rehearing was denied July 10, 1985, and the opinion was modified to read as printed above.
