I agree-No Tribe in the USA has been more screwed then the Colville's. One dam and they go from being one of the richest tribes to the poorest.

I find the Wa. wolf plan to be highly un realistic and basically stupid. By setting a goal of 15 breeding pairs including some on the w. side and the OP is dumb, dumb, dumb. Looks to me like it's specifically written to keep hunters away and lawsuits coming. They say they ultimately want to open a season but I don't think Wa has the habitat or the prey to sustain 15 packs. And how the hell are they going get to the OP without being planted there. Goats, sheep, moose, plenty of able bodied big animals have never made it to the OP and that was before the I-5 barrair was built!

I don't really consider wolves to be the problem. I do consider stupid people to be a big problem and, of course, stupid people tend to migrate to politics!
