Sigh - Okay, one more time. A treaty exercised in our name by the Government is the supreme "law of the land". The only way that it can be modified is by all parties to the treaty agreeing to the modification. Since the Indians are US citizens, the Supreme Court has the final say in any conflicts arising over the treaty. Yes, the Government often disregards treaties but they are international treaties where not all parties have standing before the US Judicial system.

You can debate the rightness of this, you can argue over what the Indians should do but in reality it's just mental j**king off. Does no good for the resource, only makes you feel better. If you are truly concerned about the salmonid resource, do something productive. If you need to complain about the Boldt decision, please do it in private. The fish do not need the distraction.
