Of course the Muckleshoots enhance the fisheries for their own benefit...duh?? They don't help the spawning habitat on the Cedar River for our benefit either. Of course they practice good PR practices too..AND they are using their gambling profits to buy political influence and to pay lobbyists to help them get a bigger and bigger slice of the pie they are supposed to get 50% of...Sports fishermen on the other hand are political wimps for the most part and lack the collective will and organization to stand up for their share of the pie... So it is no surprise that the tribes are co-managers of our fisheries and it is no surprise that they catch more fish than we do by miles...In Alaska their percentage of historically non-indian fisheries such as King crab and Opelio crab keeps growing and growing and growing..
And for the guy who wonders who to blame and hate if not the indians I say look in the friggin mirror
