who do you think pays for the nets?
not the NATIVE AMERICANS, YOU AND I DO. the goverment suppilments the tribes with cheap (cost) or free nets.
Ask letty out on the coast, i asked her why more natives do not try to make a more profitable living working the casino's because the cost of fishing and the profit from do not make sense. fish all day, some days good, others not and sell the fish for a couple of buck's a pound or whole fish for $10.00. it don't add up folks. it is just poor ecomonic's, any one will strave if they had to live on the "profits". Oh yea, but they are subsudized by the US Goverment, excuss me, by the us citizen's with our tax money, yeah that's right.
