The Treaty clause in issue assures the Yakamas "the right, in com- mon with citizens of the United States, to travel upon all pub- lic highways." Treaty with the Yakamas, Art. III, 12 Stat. 951, 953 (1855).1 We hold that the district court did not err in interpreting the Yakama Treaty as exempting the Yakama Indians from the fees at issue. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
