Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective
Association

This poster illustrates newspapers clippings found during the Supreme Court case Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association.
The point of the poster is to bring forward the biases the media portrays to the public and the lack of information or concern on a nation level for Native American Rights.

California Indian Conference

The Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery
Protective Association, also known as the G-O
Road was a landmark case taken to the Supreme
Court in the 1980’s. In short, the case
questioned if a road can be built on Native
American sacred lands; the court concluded that
the Free Exercise Clause does not prohibit the
Government from permitting or harvesting
timber production nor constructing a road
through the National Forest area.
