According to the United Nations, the current fertility rate for the United States in 2023 is 1.784 births per woman. Anything under 2 is a population reduction. That hasn't been the case in America since 1973. The breeding issue has nothing to do with Boldt/Steelhead.

The State caves to the tribes because the tribes are major contributors to political campaigns so they control our representatives and they control the tribal representatives. For example, the top donors to Jay Inslee's campaign is full of tribes donating. Jamestown S'Klallam, Swinowmish, Spokane, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, Tulalip, Lummi, Nisqually, Coville, Puyallup, Squaxin, Skagit, Quinault, Chehalis and Yakima tribes all gave Inslee at least $10,000 just in the last election cycle. In fact the total amount given by the tribes is more than his paid salary, so who is he really working for?
