Port Gamble S'Klallam Natural Resources Director Paul McCollum has said that his officers were acting properly.

McCollum has said the two officers were working as game agents under his department and not as tribal police.

someone help me understand. i always thought that the department of fish and game appointed game wardens not the port gamble s'kallam natural resource director.
so if i understand what mccollum is saying is that the tribe can appoint game wardens to act off the rez without an ok from anyone else.
