Thanks Black.

My post was not my interpretation of the Treaties. It is the interpretation rendered by the various courts of the United States. I just paraphrased what they determined. A cursory review of Indian law would provide more background and detail than I have time to provide here. But you are welcome to see for yourself.

A quick internet search on the 'Boldt decision' and the 'Steven's Treaties' would give you the information and interpretations you seek.
