The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have long been a source of inspiration and innovation for area Tribes. Attempts to adopt their business model haven't always been successful, but I do hope that the latest CSKT action will catch on with the rest of the Montana Tribes. America has always put upon its citizens, sovreign or otherwise, that it needs to be a ridiculously productive creature more willing to give up personal time in the pursuit of a paycheck. That's one of the many factors that ended with America being the world's worst polluter.
