Looks like the Tribes (and probably the NT gillnetters) got a new champion.

Here is an archive of an article from the Seattle Times, 1998, when our NEW Commissioner was the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NORTHWEST INDIAN FISHERIES COMMISSION: Pay close attention to his sentiments from his statement at that time.
