If the Indians are doing the same as what the white settlers did to the salmon runs like you suggest they are, they'd have been wiped out long ago.
I don't remember the years now but it wasn't long at all and the settlers had decimated the runs. It wasn't farming, logging, dams, or Indians that killed the Columbia salmon it was greedy uneducated settlers that did it, long before the other factors came into play. [/QB]
You have watched too much Beavis and Butthead and you fall into the latter category. Without the dams, farming, logging, etc., the indians would be freezing their ass off sitting in a teepee wishing for a warm piece of food.... They sure enjoy modern living, but curse it as being the reason for them needing protection and special priviledge......... Hell, they cannot even hunt or fish using "Traditional" methods.... Mercurys and monofiliment nets were not available in the 1800's...... Oh, I forgot, you were too busy watching MTV to learn anything in school.....
