These threads about tribal fishing crack me up. Spirit of the eagle hasnt read any of the original treaties, so shut the *uck up! The treaty doesnt give tribes 50 percent of anything, that was all Boldt's doing. As I keep saying, if the tribes want to do their cultural or subsistance fishing, go for it, but as previously stated, they are tax exempt commercial fisherman and nothing more. I say make a choice, fishing or casino, cant have both. Casinos arent treaty rights, and every tribe member gets like 3 or 4k a month from casinos. Plus what they get for fishing(selling) salmon and steelhead. Yet they pollute the rivers too, ever been on a reservation? Trash everywhere, including in the water. Bottom line is WE won, you Lost!
