Habitat restoration for most tribes is beginning with restoring and raising a decent standard of living for the members of the tribe. They aren't doing a very good job of that with all the cash some of the tribes are generating. Hopefully some of the money will help educate the people so in the future they can stop being so dependant and join the mainstream of society instead of being a separate "nation". The clout they have with the fishing related portions of their treaties is , in fact, having a huge impact on management of the fisheries in our state, especially in the Columbia river system. Without the threats the treaties bring with them, the dam operators would no doubt be spending next to nothing to mitigate the effects of the dams on salmon runs on the Columbia.
