Interesting article, and good for the Puyallup Tribe and their business success. That is great. However, I agree that there must come a time when the hard-earned money of the general public no longer goes to Native American people.

The treatment that they endured has long since passed, yet they still get special treatment regarding fishing, hunting, taxes, business opportunities, jobs (affirmative action), etc.. There is a lot of racist feelings toward these people which is sad, yet they seem to propagate many of these feelings by constantly pursuing more "hand-outs" as payment for what the white man has done in the past. Then they segregate themselves in tribal schools, or go whaling as a way to preserve their heritage.

When is enough going to be enough? Times have changed. The "Native American" people need to start acting like "American" people and take responsibility for themselves. Instead of crying foul and profiting on the treatment of their ancestors, they need to be treated and behave like any other citizen of this great country.

Hell, I'm Polish. Remember 1938? Maybe I will go to Germany and get to hunt and fish whenever and however I want, and get thousands of dollars each year, as repayment for the way the Nazi's treated my people.

Sounds silly doesn't it?
