Shared from Stéphanois Thadeus OQuirke who puts it best: Attention students: We have some world-class assholes in our backyard telling tribal First Nations where their fishing sites are, because usual and accustomed tribal fishing sites provide legal standing to block multi-million dollar coal terminals. Tribal members at the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission have created this easy to read chart so that everyone can see the willful ignorance of the Australian coal giant Ambre Energy, which is insisting that their coal export facility will not harm tribal fishing sites. Can you help this picture go viral and support our friends at the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission? If we get 100 shares, I will buy you all a unicorn. ---- Brian Gard, a spokesman for Morrow Pacific, says the company disagrees that tribes have proven their members fish at the dock site. He says the affidavits submitted to the state either misidentify the site geographically or they fail to show that tribal fishing has taken place in the dock location. Not only have we been fishing there since time immemorial, but we continue to fish there at the present time,” said Chuck Sams, communications director for the Umatilla tribes.
