JULY 11, 2000 For the second night in a row, Muckleshoot tribal members will drop their gill nets into Lake Washington and catch sockeye salmon, a relative to the endangered chinook. Muckleshoot fishermen will take up to 20,000 of the 170,000 sockeye considered "surplus" by state fishery officials. Non-Indian the Suquamish tribal fisherman already took their share. The historic Boldt decisions of the 1970s upheld treaty rights for Northwest tribes, entitling them to 50 percent of the catch. Many non-Indians have opposed Indian fishing rights, including the use of gill nets. Washington state Republican gubernatorial candidate John Carlson wants them banned. Get the Story:
