stealin' from the natives... the cowboy strikes again
Here is an article from last year in which some local native American groups weigh in about the Columbia River dredging project. As might be expected, they have some concerns about potential impacts of the project.
In case you missed it, just over a week ago Bush noted that we "gave" native Americans their sovereignty. Does that mean he's planning to take it back some time soon? Perhaps if we want to steal more of their natural resources, like we've been doing for hundreds of years? Ironically, at the same event W talked about enhancing economic opportunities for native Americans. Perhaps not ruining their traditional fishing grounds could be a start.
