Someone in the know challenged what I said about the Skoks getting three million dollars...I really did not say that but may have implied it. Actually the $3 million includes $850,000 for the Skoks to nudge them to do the right thing with the Chum carcasses . The rest of the money I think will go to studying the oxygen depletion problem in Hood Canal. My point was that the tribes should not brag about their cultural heritage if it takes a big sack of money to get them to do the right thing. Something they should have been doing all along if they gave a rip about anything other than money in their pockets.

By the way . why are we spending so much to raise all these chums anyway?
