"environmental terrorist" is not a term directed at the indigenouse. it is a term used to unfairly describe radical environmentalists and now the term is bieng used to describe those who are raping our resources. 99.9% of environmental terrorists in america are white but that does not mean pulling your punches to not offend netters who are netting like the photo above. The white jackass companies in the duwamish that have made it deadly to eat the fish in the area are enviro-terrorists as well. I am no indian hater. I have more indian friends(yes they want to be called indian) including sherman alexie, than most people have ever seen on tv. I also went to the largest indian college in the country and I have, unlike most, seen with my own eyes the devestation, poverty and despair heaped on these people. the way america treated the natives, (15 million slaughtered) is surely going to come back to haunt this country. But it is too much to watch white society convince the natives that raping our resources, is the way to fit in culturally and it is just as disgusting to see indians buy into it. i would rather see more casinos, hell... legalize marijuana on the reservations and tax it. just do anything to get a step ahead of the BIA and create some economic independance. or just continue to be the federal governments little side-kick and help them to overharvest ourselves right into extinction. Yes I believe the federal govt has set it up so that white people still eat all the fish but indians take the fall for it. 0f course when they are done with you, when the fat cats have all there money and all the fish are gone, they will discard the natives like a rotten chum. The native nations should all get together and say to the feds. "you know what, your harvest guidelines will end all fishing as we know it before our seventh generation, we are smarter than you... and we will be making our own much more conservative regulations to protect this resource for our grandkids" Now wouldnt that put it to the feds? Reservations have incredible, unlimited potential. The feds do not want you to realize it! look how hard they fought casinos! use the silver lining (albiet small) of these reservations to create economic independance, or when the fish run out, its back to comidity cheese! JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A RIGHT.... DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT
