I cant seem to understand that lack of self sufficiency by the tribes. If I ever saw anything publically that even so much as slightly promoted any sort of effort to improve anything in the way of the fisheries that are used to support netting habits, I might feel differently. Now I realize that there are things that media doesn't show or doesn't allow us to see, bla bla bla. But come on. Allowing a run of fish to dwindle to amounts of fifty to two hundred fish per year. If that is so important to your lively hood would there not have been something done along time ago to prevent the possiblity of losing that source of income. Here is a thought. Allow the tribes the one time cost of start up for the farming of "Wild Salmon" that are from the local popluations of fish. That way there is no harm caused by escapement, i.e. Atlantic Salmon. I may be ignorant to the facts that may exist in relation to the costs and possible risk vs. gain by doing something like that. But there has to be a way to fix this for good. Maybe through the education of our youth by funding that is being used to supplement the tribes "loss" of productivity from the netting of the rivers and bays.
