And you think the court will interpret it that way? I think it is a huge reach trying to extend this to recreation. The intent of this is to allow resource development. Other purposes could be defined as oil and gas, uranium, resources they didn't extract in the 19th century.
If this were a loophole as you suggest, natives would be losing every harvesting case before the courts, but they are not.
