    Read the title, thought “oh, the first nations folks are gonna be PISSED” and was pleased to find out it was their idea.

      Even if it weren’t their idea I don’t think it would apply to them. If they fish in their recognized territory I don’t believe they have to follow federal fishing limits.

        Overfishing is their ancestral right!

        Or maybe we should just protect the salmon from all people.

          We planning on forcing other countries to stick to fishing limits as well? Because that’s essentially how reservations are legally treated, and for good reason.
