I don't blame the Indians for exploiting the situation to their advantage, but I do get tired of hearing the word "sacred" applied to all sorts of items or features that the enviros are interested in. The Indians around my neck of the woods have an economic interest in the salmon because they remain a hunter-gatherer society, and their rights to the salmon are enforced by treaty. But I would like to know how the fish are any more "sacred" to them than they are to the average avid sports fisherman. It seems to me that the average sports fisherman treats fish with way more respect than the Indians do.

racism hype is seeded in one event that occurred Dec. 1, when three men drove through Chiloquin, Ore., home of the Klamath tribes offices, firing shotguns at street signs and yelling "sucker lovers." Wonder if these were the same guys who spiked the lynx hair in the federal lands out west?
Or perhaps some of their buddies?
You just can't trust the enviro wackos... they probably did it.
