    A three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled June 27th that in addition to recognizing tribal fishing rights, pursuant to the Stevens Treaties entered in the middle 1850s between Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest and the Washington Territorial Governor, the government is mandated to protect the viability of sustainable fishing to preserve the allocation to local tribes.

    So after reading that long long report with too many side quotes I can only conclude it's all about the money.

    As usual, the government doesn't want to pay to restore what they screwed up in the first place.

    The other issue seems to be Native American rights vs. US.

    Very complicated indeed... can someone explain?
