Does that mean the 20 dollar fine they got for shooting a whale out of season with non-traditional equipment seem fair. Thats the other part that is not in common with the sentences for violations.

Opinions are like a$$holes but this is mine.
Waaaaaaaaaaaay back when, my fore fathers hunted and fished for subsistance just like the Indians. We depleted the resources quickly with the Indians help. No one was innocent of over harvest in those days. The white man has since enacted hunting seasons and limits and lots of restrictions to conserve the resource for future generations. The Indians did not do this nor were they made to adhere to our limits, seasons or any of the retrictions. There is no common sense reason for this.
Treaties were written and signed. Some ignored, some upheld, even still today. The Native Americans were made US citizens many years ago so they "are" just like us, supposedly. They should be made to buy hunting/fishing licenses like every US citizen does. Pay taxes and be restricted to the exact same limitations as every US citizen is.
There should be no sorereign nations. This is and should be 100% one nation under God. No ifs, ands or buts.
We had the fortitude to see the consequences of our actions years ago and created laws to conserve these resources. These laws should be upheld by everyone in this great nation, period!

I have a little different take on it than some.

Treaty rghts are agreements that were signed by both parties, treaties need to be honored. I do however think the interpretation of some treaties may be questionable. There also comes into play the fact that treaties were based on primitive modes of transportation, primitive weapons, and tribal hunting as a means of survival. When you factor in all these issues, there's no doubt tribal hunting will continue to be a highly controversial issue and all parties will never be satified with how the issue is handled. :twocents:
YA I agree Dale ... My biggest complaint is when they net the rivers and we are shut down ... Something just does not make sense here...

As sensitive of a topic that this is......and it is.....

I want to thank Coastal Native for always being such a class act.  He could tell all us white guys to piss off and deal with it. :chuckle:

Good discussion and communication on these issues seems to be rare...even on here.  In short, I wish there were more men out there like Coastal Native.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
