I support wood carved bows and chiseled broadheads mounted on a mustang!
Right after you navigate the roadless areas on your covered wagon and musket?

We All evolve and adapt to perpetuate what we value.  :twocents:

The difference is we have rules and biologists that “try” to manage and make scientific decisions. They have no rules, and no care about what they’re doing.
That's a broad and inaccurate statement. As a matter of fact, several tribes are hunting wolves where our own WDFW has failed to do so, to help mule deer and elk populations for all of us, especially in the the NE corner. Several tribes have initiated projects which enhance and recover salmon populations - the Quinault and Lummi to name only two of many. I personally know tribal members who hunt according to existing regulations. No care about what they're doing? Sorry, that comment holds zero credibility. I'll admit that some natives will take great advantage of their hunting rights. And will also admit there are plenty of non-native poachers in this state doing the same thing. Clean up your own backyard before examining your neighbor's.

I understand your argument for those tribes. But this article and what we’re talking about doesn’t pertain to those tribes one bit. It’s about 1 tribe, and they don’t care. I live here, I see it on the daily. If you don’t live where this is taking place you truly cannot grasp the impact it’s having.



Tbar, lets not forget that this particular tribe (sovereign nation) does not have to license their vehicles in WA ST.....therefore not paying their share to maintain OUR public roadways they utilize (aka your "Right after you navigate the roadless areas on your covered wagon and musket? " comment. ) Maybe they should not be allowed to drive on State owned roadways....... at all!

Treat others as you would like to be treated......When one is allowed special treatment, but wants equality, that's where the issue is  :twocents:

The Yakama Treaty of 1855 has been upheld by the SCOTUS in 2019 that gives the rights to them to not have to pay taxes to travel on WA roads, including registration. If you have a problem with the treaty, your problem is with Congress and President Pierce, not the Yakama nation.


1. There are many things in this world that are legal, or folks have a "right" to do..........many times these things are against most folks idea of being correct/morals/ethics. 

2. I have zero issue with what happened in 1855. How could I have a beef with folks who made decisions they felt were correct at THAT TIME.........long before my great great grandparents were around?

The only folks I have a beef with are in my current timeline, and over-exploit their needs, AND, those who can put a stop to it but seem to turn a blind eye!!!

Again, When one is allowed special treatment, but wants equality, that's where the issue is. Treat and do unto others as you would like to be treated.  Simple.

PS, Did they have taxes on roads in 1855?

There were toll ways on private roads built by private people in 1855.



Citation?  In Boston?
