Never is a strong word! I truly believe the natives have open minds and would be willing to discuss options that benefit all parties. Tribes are made of members and I have heard different views from some of the members. Fishing is a resource that needs a long term solution. Natives have families that need income for support and they use what ever resources are available to them to reach those means. What we have now is not working. We need a unified position (More fish for all) to negotiate a workable solution. The finger pointing continues from all sides (indians, sporties and commercials). Anything is possible ie....look at Ireland!!
