jaydee....I know I am being critical of the tribes. I am not singling them out by any means. I think I mention many other villians. The Makah tribe is trying to make a go of it without the luxury of a casino...They are poor as are most members of tribes. The draggers out of Neah Bay are raping the resource no matter who owns the boats. If, as you say, indians do not own the operations that is news to me and would be even a bigger joke. If you know who owns them other than the tribe please document it here. No matter though since we are discussing the possible implementation of offshore fish farms. I suspect if and when they come to pass near Neah Bay the tribes willl be involved....Maybe they'll go to court and sue for half the farms???
