If tribal governments and the Services still have different views regarding the affect of the ESA upon tribal rights, what really has been accomplished by this Secretarial Order?
The long-standing legal disagreement regarding the application of the ESA to treaty rights has often created a barrier to closer cooperation between the Federal government and tribes on endangered species conservation. By agreeing to set aside their legal differences and focus on the mutual goals of maintaining and restoring healthy ecosystems and promoting species conservation, the Services and tribal governments have forged a new conservation partnership that will ultimately benefit both endangered trust resources and the exercise of treaty rights.
