The difference is that we treaty supporters think that Indian people aren't the problem. In fact, we think that their treaties may be one part of the solution. If Indian people can successfully create an economy that preserves their community, and protects natural resources, it might provide an example to us non-Indian neighbors, who are finding our welfare lines increasing, our kids leaving for work in the city, and our environment degraded by pollution. There would be no more spearfishing, and no more protests against it, simply because there would be no edible fish left to argue about. For booklets to distribute, contact the Wisconsin offices of the Midwest Treaty Network, an alliance of grassroots Indian and non-Indian groups.
