You don't need to be afraid of your family because someone is trying to make a point that it isn't the 1800's anymore. Yep, its all about fairness and all jealousy isn't it. Try one system, with one people, and one source. I guess its jeolousy to think that this group of people should have their sheep, and the blacks should have theirs, and the white boy has this many, and so on. There really doesn't seem to be that much use in argueing, or contradicting someone on here because that labels you as a bigot. I am not a doctor, but am front line in helping people. All people, from all races and creeds. I have formed an opinion because of what has happened to me as experience. I have been prejudiced against more by one group of folks than any other. I just happen to have been raised by a reservation, lived on a reservation, and now work near and on a reservation. I am happy for you that you don't drink and you live a clean life. Thats awesome for anyone. I hope when you are out in the woods with your family, you don't put down white folks, justas I don't other folks to my kids. We could go on and on with how I feel, what I believe, etc. I'm just telling you that there is overharvest and abuse and it is all about treties or rights from a LONG time ago. That is insane. Things have changed alot since then. I have had lots of experience where I have turned in poachers on the reservation with pictures and so forth. NOTHING happened. I turned in an elk poacher that killed only for the antlers. Because of tribal politics, nothing happened. It just makes a guy grumpy and nasty on here. By the way, the whole shooting thing was just a point that it should be seen as just as absurd as those hiding behind these treaty rights. Like the guys who drove into the elk feeding station, and started shootin elk in front of everyone, and it was OK. Did the tribe do anything about it. NOPE. Ignorance....yep thats what it all is. Jealousy, Yep I'm jealous I can't walk into a feeding station and start harvesting bulls, or drive my jet sled up the columbia to rope in the chinook. We cry that its the hydroelectric power, but the nets have nothing to do with it. ever see a boat filled with stinking fish, because the guys decided to tie one on before taking care of them. Ever see a group of hunters come over the hill in their trucks with automatic weapons and shoot a bunch of deer on the winterrange because its their treaties rights (lummi indians/Methow) I doubt their tribe was over there in the winter, with fourwheel drives and automatic weapons etc. Thats my point. These rules are outdated and should be fixed. How do you go about doing that when everytime someone mentions it, we get a history lesson about the indian and the white man, injustices and then you are instantly labelled a bigot. FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!
