Summary:
Three issues are being debated in Seattle courts:
1. Can Indians collect their own tax on cigarette sales in Indian smoke shops instead of the state tax?
2. Do Indians get one-half the annual salmon catch, despite the fact that they do not represent one-half the fishermen?
3. Do Indian law codes govern non-Indians who live or work on reservations?
