Dudes need to relax!!! I'm neither Indian nor a "white sportfisherman" but I know that fishing in someone else's property/"nation" is wrong unless you get permission first. Geez this great country of ours, the proverbial "ethnic melting pot," has already pushed the Skokomish onto a small plot of land - a fraction of what they romped on prior to Euro-American settlement. Not only that, we stuck a dam on the river. We haven't done the Skoks any favors lately, why should they shoot us one.

Yes, I'm extremely upset at the number of chinook the Muckleshoots harvested. Needless to say, it falls well short of sharing in common. For me this hits home especially hard because in the past I have relied on the Seacrest pier for both spiritual and subsistence needs during the summer. But after reading the above passages I was saddened because I realized a solution is nowhere in sight. There's too much hatred and no leadership.
