I have never understood how it can just be the tribes in some states that get to do these things. For example, in Idaho, Indians don't get to net the rivers. In Idaho, Indians can't have big Casinos. They do get a small allotment of Salmon, but they have to be caught with a dip net, or gig, or some other way. No nets. They do have Casino's, but really small scale with no actual gaming. Its all like bingo and pull tabs and crap. They can't drive around and shoot anything they want. They have to get a tag just like you or I. They really don't get much of anything special.

Another example: Much of the Clearwater river flows through the Nez Perce indian reservation. The tribe can sell you a permit to fish it for 10 dollars, but if you have a regular Idaho fishing licence, you don't need it.. so actually, they get nothing from that also.

Is this the way it should be everywhere, or do Idaho indians just have really crappy lawyers
