What if it's rich, because it's true.

I've lived next to two different reservations in WA state and I can confirm the fantastic equipment.

Also, on a random tour of the Leavenworth fish hatchery, we stumbled upon a fishery-management-sanctioned culling of "excess" fish at the Leavenworth fish hatchery into large blue food grade containers as part of tribes "share".

The whole story of where the fish are going is useful, even if it contradicts your preconceptions.

Have lived next to 2-3x reservations myself.

If the worst thing you can say to prove a point is “they have fantastic equipment,” well arguably they could be owed some good equipment in exchange for the total culture, socioeconomic collapse. And fantastic equipment tends to produce less waste.

That’s also ignoring we’re talking salmon run numbers and you’re talking excess at the hatchery. There’s no issues at the hatchery, they can sudo user their way into more fish at that stage. What’s at obvious issue is what happens to the fish when they’re out there and growing and then coming back to spawn.

Also interesting how you can laser in on the natives and ignore… all of the dams in WA, Or, Cali and their documented 50 yr+ impact on west coast salmon.

Like I said, have lived next to rezs myself. The coded language from WA, Idaho, MT, WY non-natives tends to be anything but coded.

>arguably they could be owed some good equipment

No

>The coded language

There isn't any coded language here. PNW Indian tribes should not be given extraordinary fishing rights.
