That is too bad. Often time they get hammered (not as hard as they should though).
A big point here too again is a tax issue. Not only do the non-tribals pay for the ability to harvest, but then must pay taxes on what they do harvest and sell. Not so with the tribals. I would like to make a few million and not be taxed and double-taxed on it....... Now before all the comments begin, let me say also that I am a true believer that corproate religeous organizations (churches) should also have to pay taxes on the profits they make.
Just one of my "life is not fair" pet peaves....
