  • Human Rights Brief a Legal Resource for the International Human Rights Community
    Human Rights Brief A Legal Resource for the International Human Rights Community Volume 10 Issue 2 American Indian Land Rights in the Inter-American System: Dann v. United States by lnbal Sansani* On July 29, 2002, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (Commission), an organ of the Organization of American States (OAS) headquartered in Washington, D.C., released its long-awaited preliminary merits report to the public, stating that the U.S. government is violating international human rights in its treatment of Western Shoshone elders Carrie and Mary Dann. This is the first decision of the Commission, or of any international body, finding that the United States has violated the rights of American Indians. The Commission’s preliminary merits report had already been released to the parties on October 15, 2001, in response to a petition filed on April 2, 1993 by the Indian Law Resource Center (ILRC), a non-profit legal advocacy organization based in Helena, Montana. The ILRC brought the petition on behalf of the Dann sisters—American Indians, U.S. citizens, and members of the Dann Band of the Western Shoshone Nation. The petition charged the United States with illegally depriving the Dann sisters and other members of the Western Shoshone Nation of their ancestral lands. The Commission’s preliminary merits report supported the Danns’ argument that the U.S. government used illegitimate means to gain control of Western Shoshone ancestral lands through the Indian Claims Commission (ICC), a now defunct administrative tribunal established by Congress in 1946 to determine outstanding American Indian land title disputes and to award compensation for land titles that had been extinguished.

A day hike is worth doing, but if you have time, I would highly recommend staying a night or two at Liberty Lake and using it as a springboard to Favre Lake, Wines Peak, and Furlong Lake as day hikes from a base camp at Liberty Lake. Note: Liberty Lake itself offers only a few primitive campsites and is relatively confined.

Though relatively short, the hike offers big views of Lamoille Canyon and has several smaller lakes to pass en route. This is a popular destination for fisherman, so be sure to bring your rod and reel if you are inclined. This also makes a great short overnighter for families. Tags: hike, wildflowers, fall colors, dog friendly, family friendly, beginner, access: paved Trailhead From downtown Elko, take 5th Street south, which becomes state road 227. This is well signed for Lamoille Canyon. From Elko, stay on 227 for about 19 miles to the signed Forest Road 660 on the right. Signed for Lamoille. Follow the road to its ends in 12 miles.

  • Elko County Public Land Use & Natural Resource Management Plan
    Elko County Public Land Use & Natural Resource Management Plan 2010 0 2010 Elko County Public Land Use & Natural Resource Management Plan Executive Summary: The Elko County Public Land Use and Natural Resource Management Plan was created in the effort to maintain and promote traditional multiple uses in unison with conservation measures of publicly managed lands within Elko County. The directives of the plan are intended to promote active progressive leadership from all levels of our local, state and federal land management agencies. The directives provide directions in developing and improving cooperative relationships between federal public land management and local government and its citizens. The directives also provide insight to help maintain existing uses and establish diversified multiple uses of Elko County’s federally managed public lands. Promotion and implementation of education plans are the keys for the users of our public lands as well as the federal land management agencies to cohesively work for continued and expanding multiple uses and conservation. The plan addresses conservation, preservation and land stewardship that has been the custom and culture of the citizens of Elko County for much of man’s existence in the west. The plan offers detailed history and current science related to the local area conservation and preservation measures, policies and methods implemented by many ranchers, mining operations, recreationist and the general public. The plan also addresses regional and local economics and economic diversity. The plan identifies the need for the development of cooperative agreements and active progressive planning on all levels of public land management to provide the diversity that our economy will require to continue to expand and sustain current levels.
