She sounded pretty good on the radio an hour ago - surprising since she hasn't had water in 4 days...
Let me get this straight, the water Nestle' wants to bottle doesn't even run through the tribal area?
Huh?

FRANKIEB, from my understanding of the article, a condition of the tribal agreement to the reservation boundary, which separates the people from the Columbia, is seasonal salmon rights. If the salmon are compromised, so too are the people and the treaty

Yeah, IF....
I am of the opinion if fools want to buy bottled water, it may as well be from here.
If it harms fish, etc, well let's rethink it, but I have yet to see much science supporting this point of view.
I would imagine if it was a 'non-GMO, Organic brewery' wanting the water that there would be no opposition at all.

I have never understood how a hunger strike was supposed to pressure anyone. I highly doubt that the people she is targeting to change their minds, really cares if she is starving. If they don't care about the environment, fish, and the animals... Then , they are not likely to give a crap if she is starving or dehydrating in the sun (possibly to death, eventually).

The only thing I could see strengthening her "stand" would be for other tribal members to do the same. But, even though they seem to be "visiting" her, nobody seems to care enough to JOIN her. I'm sure her opposers are thinking the same thing. If she seems to be the only one who cares enough to do this, they aren't worried about opposition in large numbers. And they aren't worried about having to change their plans.

Wow I'm shocked!!! By these comments this is not about science this is about the future of our sacared salmon. Its known that as our current situation the salmon are being compromised due to drought and high water temperature. We as tribal people matter our voice matter the salmon matter. Honor your word!! Honor our Treaties Rights!!! We care about this situation this is many Natives livelihood. I agree in that we need to have more in our number show up a protest this atrocity!!

Greed is going to be your demise. We are in a drought Mt Hood barely has snow and Nestle wants more. This is not just a Native issue. We all need to protect our sacred water. Water for salmon.
