I was taught re:Treaty catch that the Indians get 50% and the Cowboys get 50% of the harvestable fish. There is no guarantee to an individual tribe that they will get 50%. Just as there is no guarantee to sporties in Area 10 that they will get 50%. It is cumulative.

If Makah were able to catch every treaty-harvestable Chinook in their troll fishery that would meet the legal requirements of Boldt for 50:50. That may not meet inside Tribes needs or desires and certainly wouldn't meet the State's political desire to keep the tribes happy..

I have seen instance where a tribe fishing lower in a river effectively corked the tribe upstream.

The intertribal sharing agreements are, from what i have heard, harder to hammer out than Indian/non-Indian.
