unfortunatly treaty rights will be hard to change. People can however educate themselves as well as family and friends what is going on. ( i.e. stay away from any fish , halibut etc. caught by native americans until their practices and management change). Until recently ( by reading the board) I didn't realize that wild steelhead are being sold at the Pike street market. This is no small market either. people come from many areas to buy fish here. I think places like this are also a great place to boycott.
It is very irritating that the majority of the crowd that would purchase indian caught, wild steelhead or salmon for that matter, have no clue about fish and their current populations. Most people think that all of the fish at fred meyer or winco is from some pristine river in Alaska. They dont even know what farm raised means. However irritating this may be, we have to start somewhere. Grass roots activism. tell a friend pass it on! this stuff works.
