Yep, same color as all the fly in lakes in Manitoba Canada we fish.
If I ever seek advice from a witch doctor, then I will have had a lobotomy and become a Dem.
Chief Dullest Knife. Or was it Stiff As Board?

I seriously doubt Native Americans would join this Algorian cause. They know, as many of us do, there are some problems with pollution and some human caused GW on this plant but, they have never been known to *tag along*.
Well, until the earth tells me otherwise, I’ll continue to pee outside when the urge comes! ;-)
Ugghhh... Me seeum tea colored water... Got um cup?
Even if the river is polluted, it does not mean it has anything to do with “climate change”. Global warming BS is one thing, a river full of sewage another.
I'd say that the 'tea-colored' water was proof of Talking Hawk's overwhelming load of Bull 'Pucky' except for the fact that the river water was the same color when I was a kid in the 1960s paddling a canoe in the Boy Scouts down the rivers of central Florida. It's called called tannin and it's a naturally occuring chemical in tree roots and leaves that causes river water to turn brown.
“After reading the book, Sutton said he agrees with the American Indian philosophy of life: Use nature respectfully, never taking more than is needed.”
I do believe history shows the Indian tribes hardly followed this philosophy. The general rule was settle in an area, use up the natural resources, and when they are gone, move on to another site. Studies show the tribes often wrought ecological ruin where they settled.
That said, I have no problem with advocating a symbiotic relationship with nature, so long as humankind is recognized as having a respectable place in that relationship. I have a real problem with those who advocate that humankind either disappear (that is, those humans other than the enlightened advocates) or go back to the caves.
That is such cr*p. They burned forest to drive out game.
Drove herds of buffalo over cliffs to kill them by the hundreds. And many other not terribly nature friendly things.
I frankly am tired of this whole noble mystic of the plains nonsense.
“Native Americans have always been close to the land and have treated the land well.”
Really? I guess all of those migrations of tribes after they have stripped the land bare of crops and game were just part of their overall plan of crop and game rotation. Ok, now I get it.
I have travelled across numerous reservations across the western U.S.; the filth and trash that they emit just makes me plain depressed.
...and the answer is the election of Hillary Clinton. :D
Whiskey River don’t run dry,
You’re all I’ve got, take care of me.
I’d be more concerned about what Father God thinks.
earth father too
