Nativepride-

My apologies for a fuzzy question. It was not meant as a slam on the Muckleshoots for using modern methods. What I am trying to find out is does it matters to you what methods and gear you use to catch your fish? Green sauks had the better question but I never saw a response - if it was a push dollar wise would you use traps and weirs over nets? Would it make any difference from a cultural standpoint? I'm trying to figure out what the tribal priorities are, money wise and culturally, so maybe some alternatives to netting could be worked out. Think about this: if the the Muckleshoots used traps they would have the opportunity to see every fish swimming up the Green. If that was the case very concious decisions could be made on what to keep and what to allow up river. Maybe pick the biggest fish for spawning and hatchery production. Thoughts?
