Different values,lifestyles and cultures are something that are very hard to understand. Especially when they are right next door. We look at the rez and say "Why don't they do _____ & or ________"  ( you fill in the blanks ). Why dont some cultures learn ENGLISH. I dont understand. Why dont the homeless pick up after themselves. I dont understand. The point is  that "Just because it bothers you doesn't mean that it bothers them."  All of the rants are falling on deaf ears. Funny, Sad and TRUE.

I personally Don't have a problem with the Yakama's as a whole, just the few that are abusing there hunting right's, We probally know a few of the same People, jim and twink on Lat C? I use to work for them back in the day, great people. And I think that if there were a bunch of Non Indians doing the same thing, there would be just as many post on that subject also. I guess My problem would be with there Tribal Counsel for not doing something about this!

funny thing is the tribe then later tried to get the funds from the lawsuit though they had no part in the investigation.  I also wonder where these folks are now.  Not alot of faith in their criminal system.  They can be asked to be moved from our system to "theirs"  and it is operated very differently.

There is the key to these issues.     MONEY    Someone is always going to make money on these issues. The compassion exchange rate is really high. The tribes wildlife program is funded by millions of B P A dollars. I will state for the record that they are using these resources better now than they have in the past. One thing that I do view as humorous is most of the department heads are non Native. i e Yakama Power, Wildlife Dept, etc..
