A few years back I was down on the Columbia river at a dam. I looked over and saw a boat ramp and thought great there is a ramp I can use. When I drove over there the sign said tribal use only. I really didn't care who paid for the ramp (Me, probably my taxes ) or what the regulations were. I was very unhappy that I could not use it because my skin was the wrong color.

I imagine the tribe feels the same way about this ramp. Has anyone asked them? The only thing the tribe does is commercial. If they cannot use it for that I am sure they have lost interest. That letter from the director is probably sitting in the back of a file cabinet. Under the current situation we now have that YOU just described I do not see much chance of success. The tribe like anyone can be bought and the price is access to the ramp.

No one wants to hear or believe what I just typed including me but I am afraid it is true.
