If a white guy stole your stereo would all white guys be thieves?

So why when an Indian does it are all Indians thieves?

Just remember that corporations, governments, developers et cetera get away with this type of crap all the time and people get [Bleeeeep!] and go unheard but in this case since its over fish and fishing rights and separate classes, people are paying attention and the racism comes out full force.


You ignore the rather incestuous relationship between the Federal Government (Dept of Interior/BIA specifically) and the tribes.

The Federal Government signed those treaties representing the Government and its citizens while the tribal representatives signed for their citizens. But good luck trying to get the Feds to fight the tribes to ensure that the terms of said treaties are adhered to by both sides.
