And the real crock is where the treaties specifically state that the indians will abide by all the territory, state, and federal laws also in kind with the "citizens"..... So why is that not upheld as vehemently as the fishing/hunting parts of the treaty? According to folks like pacificnw and others, tribes are not governed by our laws or authoritive agencies. Read the whole thing, you will be both amazed and probably disgusted..... The treaties clearly were meant (by reading, not "interpreting") to allow tribes to retain heretage while also integrating and acclimating to our society.....

Just wish they would.....
