I don't agree completely. You could say that it's not the job of Wal-Mart or Exxon or any corporation to look after anybody but itself, but if they engage in bad behavior, it's perfectly reasonable to protest such behavior. If the MIT takes the position that they don't care if the citizens of Washington get their treaty-guaranteed share of fish, then they deserve derision and all the negative feedback that comes along with taking that position.

Plus, it's hard to argue with WDFW when they basically have no recourse against tribal overreach in negotiations (as far as I can see).
