A lawsuit, and a river runs through it

"It seems to me the Park Service doesn't have jurisdiction."

Those were the last words Justice Antonin Scalia spoke from the bench of the U.S. Supreme Court before his death earlier this year. The case involved Alaska. And, indirectly, CIRI.

The Sturgeon v. Frost case pitted Alaska moose hunter John Sturgeon against the National Park Service. It started back in 2007 when Sturgeon was prohibited from using his hovercraft on the Nation River in the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. Sturgeon didn't have anything to do with CIRI and the hovercraft incident happened far from CIRI land, but CIRI's interests became involved when the potentially precedent-setting decision out of the federal courts, if they had survived, would have authorized the National Park Service, and other agencies, to regulate private lands within conservation units.

This episode of CIRIosity discusses why CIRI was drawn into the case and what it did to protect future access to its land. To listen to the actual oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, click here. To read the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the Frost case click here.
