RT, Sorry about the lack of a quick response. I was trying to confirm the "illegal" tribal activity in Hoodsport. From Jim Bain's post it seems that it was a planned, legal tribal fishery. Problem was no communication to sporties. Is that the tribal cops job? I think WDFW. I had also received a different report then what was described as far as numbers of fish caught.

I don't feel the reports/responses to improper Indian activity are racist unless the Indian activities are NOT improper. Then to report them as improper could be considered racist.
Looks to me like the Hoodsport fishery was a legal tribal fishery. I think the Columbia River fishery was also legal but I don't know very much about it as far as the politics go.

I also don't mind being called an Indian. Does not matter to me personally. I can do without the adjectives in front of the word however. Since I've been registered on Bob's board, I've read posts with terms such as stupid Indians, slimy Indians, punch your squaw card, and featherheads. There is definite racism in those posts. Having said that, I also have met many great people off this board and read posts from even more that I have enjoyed.

I've already proposed simple my 3-part plan to improve the situation we are in on another post, but will do again here.

1-Accurate info to anyone concerned
2- More enforcement that gets the job done
3- Continue to improve and test the fisheries science.
