I'm on board with Baywolf. Throughout this nightmare, I have yet to see any form of documented attempt to reach out to the Feds for oversight, direction, mediation or arbitration. Has it come down to arrogance and/or stubborn pride? Jim Goerg recently updated his running editorial @ Reel News by putting forth "WA State, the only one with two governments...the USofA, and the Tribes." For my part in this, it comes down to one simple principle, that being upholding and defending the civil liberties and rights of ALL Americans has the same priority, and is just as important as doing so for Native Americans. Get DC into this mess based on applying the principles set forth by the Boldt Decision, put all parties involved in their proper place, and return some sanity and direction to this fiasco.
