Dances,

You said in your post on March 2 that Indians get more money from the government when there are fewer fish than when there are more fish in the river. Would you mind backing up that statement? What is your source for that information?

I ask only because I've been involved in fish conservation and the fishing industry and business for well over 25 years, and I've never heard of such a government program that does this. I know several treaty Indian fishermen who would really be interested in getting some of that money if such a program exists, since salmon runs are really low in their rivers lately.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
