Wait wait wait...... So the dozen tribal boats out the 2 weeks before sport season wiping out northern 8-2 who wdfw claimed openly were just tribal boats contracted to do population size samples for wdfw pre sport season population estimates.... weren't doing that?
Then the 7! crab checkers at kayak point every single day, who when told about all the humpies I caught while salmon was closed on opening weekend of crab told me they "are not counting ANY species of fish nor would they record anything having to do with fish, they are only counting crab in all areas salmon is closed" ......
Weren't counting crab "in-season"?
I don't understand why tribes aren't getting blasted all over the news and social media as racists and have marches held against them. My children and I are getting treated negatively and our wellbeing and livelyhood is being held back by group of people 100% using race as the reason. I can't say black people aren't allowed to fish cause my ancestors were here first, so why can an Indian say the same to me. With all that this state is doing to make every person "equal" in so many different aspects of society, how is this giant one being overlooked?
(p.s I have many tribal family members)
