Who the He!! are the f@!#$%^&*Chinook??? And Where the He!! do they think they acquire rights to my F@#$%^& river??????
I'm Cowlitz, and I've never even heard of them.
The Quinault, well, their alleged right comes only after Stevens and his 1854 rubber stamp set of treaties, and I challenge them to grant me guiding privileges on their river before I'll even consider them a real tribe. At best they're ony secondary, and scarcely deservent of homo sapiens status.

Then there's the Yakima, who only lived vicariously through Chief Joseph's victories, back when. Never demonstrated sufficient spine to defend their territories even when a sovereign nation, now they cant even successfully conduct a rain dance and get paid for it. Their only claim to the Cowlitz is that a lot of our people were on the east side gathering berries when they sold out and went tame in 1854. Tribal rights by adverse injection??? Get the He!! out.
Damn Im pissed.
These jerkoffs want our river but havent the cojones to go to bat against TPL or BPA or WDFW and other agencies, when it comes time for the nut-cuttin, and when the fishery is at stake. But just talk about when it comes time for the fish. Ya-ta Fu!!ing Hey.

Lend a hand to a people who didnt understand the language Stevens was trying to shove down the throats of the indigenous people? Yeah Right.
Our tribe is of a culture from another region. Different root languages. Sealth didnt help. At All.
The F%^&*()hypocrites make me sick.
Makes me want to catch and eat a few of them, and settle it the old way.
mad
So if we see any nets on the Cowlitz, I dont are who they belong to, They're coming out. Period.
If this comes to pass, It will be with the blessing of the whole Cowlitz tribe, as I understand the deal currently in place.

The federal recognition process has gone on plenty long enough. The Quinault have had plenty of opportunity to present their objections.
Truth is, they have no valid points, they've drug it on long enough, and it now becomes a matter of enrollment monies. Now their objective is to stall long enough to get someone to pay them to go away.
They're greedy *******s just like DC and Olympia. If you have a thousand votes living on welfare in your district, then youve gotta protect welfare.

So how do you like me now??? Here's a blanketass ready for the warpath.
If you want to make big talk or throw big rocks, be damned sure you have it right..Get it?
