I have only one question for the folks who are sending out the money for casino profits to its members. The same folks who are fixing street lights, roads, medical facilities,etc,etc, How many millions of dollars in profits are going to your fish programs. Remember the same fish that you will go to battle to preserve your right to harvest even in the bleakest of times. The same fish that you claim to be the back bone of your heritage. The salmon are the driving force of your existance I hear this statement every time the salmon harvest issue comes up. IDEA!!!!! How about taking all your profits and dumping them into your fisheries and then bring back your heritage where you can support your family and the tribe with the abundance of this important resource? Your kids could grow up learning the ways of their ancestors and continue on with that tradition.Hows this sound every member gets a check from the profits of your abundant fishery programs. maybe even sell sportfishing rights for the surplus of harvest. The muckelshoot tribe gives less than 1% to the fishery program. This vital historic tradition is worth only 1% something is wrong here...
