Guess not all tribes support that ban.

Might depend on the definition and practice of fish farming

They have the rights through their treaties, get over it

That is a Sound decision.

Well, in this particular case one tribes practices are interfering with the livelihood of other tribes, along with the ecosystem of the whole Puget Sound.
Their right to fish does outweigh other groups right to fish, and to live off the common goods of the Puget Sound.

As I'll be the first white man to admit that white man ruined the fishing in this country, I did not make the deals, and therefore will not deny anyone their rights. All we can do at this point is teach others and move forward in hopes that everyone will eventually work together to solve and fix the problem at hand

Which is exactly what banning fish farming is trying to do, that is the purpose, to work together and let the ecosystem of the Puget Sound recover from years of harmful practices that yes, were mostly from white men.

But if the Fish Wars taught us anything it's that it will be anything other than just straight forward. Natives were forced onto reservations with a treaty giving them certain rights. Now your saying that they should just give up more because everyone else has been greedy for years and had a huge hand in the decimation of the fish population.

If what they are doing is continuing the process of decimating the wildlife population, then yeah they should be asked to give it up. I hear what you are saying, it's not straightforward and this is just another grevience in a long list of justified greviences Native Americans have, but if what they are doing is taking away the rights of others, then it shouldn't be allowed. The Suquamish also have rights, and if what other tribes are doing is interfering with those rights, then shouldn't the next higher authority (the state) have the obligation to step in?
