In answer to Dave Werner:
1. We as a respected people, Tribe of the Chilkat, hereby deport you back to wherever you came from.
2. I would like to know what elders you are talking about?
3. From what area?
4. So where did you get your information from?
5. How many fish do you think the Polley Mine killed and Greens Creek and contaminated the seals which are important to our diet? You like your bacon, we like seal fat! What’s the difference?
You don’t subsistence fish, hunt, or gather! You go gathering in stores with your double barrel credit cards. Don’t forget, “You’re a guest here.” Do your homework! Read about the Polley Mine disaster, as well as Greens Creek, Hawk Inlet and Skagway Ore Terminal.
Next time you pick on an elder, you better lift your skirt and run! Have you not heard? Respect your elders!
And in the next issue of: As the fish wheel turns!
