When work was stopped briefly, the DHR sent the logger a letter okaying his plans to resume. Most of the damage to the canoes was done after that. In hindsight, I guess we made a mistake. Artifacts were illegally removed by the logger. He barreled through a 30-foot canoe site after promising he would leave it alone the day before.
Some witnesses have videotapes and photographs.
No charges have been filed. I was accused of several things that just didn t happen. The Tribe was given no opportunity to comment or object, or to even lend a hand. Place of long boats. But there are more disturbing questions.
