Makah's do it again!!!

[Dman]

 While fishing Sekiu this weekend, Saturday the Coast Guard came on the radio and said first, "We are conducting a law enforcement action near Neah Bay". Then, all day on after that, they changed the call to "We are conducting a training exercise near Neah Bay". ONE, I do not like being lied to. TWO, the Makah's killed another damn Grey Whale right on the fringe of hundreds of sport fishermen fishing the coho derby, endangering people and WITHOUT the consent required by NAF, in the form of a permit that must be issued. Of course the tribe is "appalled" by the actions of the five fishermen and is anxious to rebuild relationships so they can legally harvest whales. I SAY BS, the days for whale harvest should stay over with, as they have proven they can neither harvest salmon or whales responsibly! 20000 chinook caught per year tell me they do not require a whale harvest and AND grey whale's are NOT resident's of Washington State, but rather are transients from as far away as South America and therefore should not be included in any protected fishing rights with the US GOV on that basis, as our authority does not extend beyond our own borders to grant such right's.

[Dman]

 That really pissed me off to hear they were firing a .460 21 times in the vicinity of sport fisher's.

If anything is going on in the Colockum someone needs to get some evidence and get it in the hands of the news, this is a HOT topic right now and the public would be appaled to see what else goes on with "treaty rights" in this state.

[jackelope]

that's right, ridge...now's the time.

[Dman]

 Well said Ridge.

 Pbear, LOL, where's the .50 cal mounted on the front of the canoe??

Traditions change........Or at least they should to conform to modern times. My old family tradition was shootin injins...........

[boneaddict]

Dang hermit, I said that once and about got scalped.  People thought I was a radical.  I was just trying to make a point that ideas change, why shouldn't treaty laws.

[Shadow Cat]

Because to many people will get there feelings hurt and cry...   

[Hermit]

Feelings are for girls. Besides, my father was a full blooded Blackfoot {Lacota} who drank himself to death at the age of 43. Gives me a right to a opinion. My mom's side had the pioneer injin fighters. If they want to be treated with respect they should act with a little dignity. Shooting elk at feeding stations, shooting does for the hind quarters and leaving the rest, netting off river mouths are all things that demean ALL native Americans.

AHH    i was on duty when this happened. always gotta make a lazy day into a busy day...........................................freakin indians.

 Hermit, my dad's grandmother was Blackfoot also, her adopted name was Jennie Goodnough. Not sure what her Blackfoot name was.
