The Karuks have no federal fishing right on the Klamath, they have unregulated fishing that they brag about. In an LA Times article, "tribal leader Leaf Hillman is quoted to explain why the fish aren’t counted: “Then it would have to come out of someone’s allocation somewhere,” said Leaf Hillman, the tribe’s natural resources director. “No one talks about it because no one wants to deal with it.' " However, the tribes have continually sued to shut down suction dredge mining which has not killed even one fish. Karuk spokesman Craig Tucker was formerly with Friends of the River, an international group bent on dismantling the American infrastructure...removing hydropower dams, and the tribe sued PacifiCorp until they made it virtually impossible to continue licensing the Klamath hydro dams that serve 70,000 customers. Karuk spiritual leader/vice president Hillman beat his wife over the head with a beer bottle and left her bleeding. The tribal people (not leaders) have signed petitions against the lawsuits and dam removal agenda of their leaders they feel are corrupt. So I say hoorey for the politically incorrect miners for standing up for their rights and calling Karuks on their lawless fishing while the Karuks sue all other resource users into submission. Miners, farmers, loggers, and fishermen are not inferior races, regardless of the media and laws claiming otherwise.
