Can’t they just build casinos like good little injuns?
Perhaps more, smaller dams with low head hydro and fish ladders?
Oh yeah! Relief to the Indians for miles around. How many Indians? And what do they have to say about it. Maybe you should read Lewis’ and Clark’s description of the salmon eating tribes on the Pacific coast.
