Enough of this bullshit debate and give these people the right to choose for real so we can be done with this.
They want to be a nation and self govern fine but no more money you want self autonomy then be self sufficient.

Umm catching fish to eat with your tribe family whatever is different then commercial fishing and selling over seas. I thought everyone thinks they are the nobel Savage yet they are fishing during the animals breeding season commercially.
Take a guess what the outcome is going to be.
