A Native American tribe in Washington state has been allowed to once again hunt gray whales - following a decades-long effort to resume the ancient practice.
The tradition has existed for more than 2,000 years, though the last time the tribe was able to hunt a member of the species was in 1999.

For a glorious example of government run everything go visit their little reservation. The first thing you see is the “ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL”
Hopefully they will be using traditional methods. Dugout canoes and handmade spears. It should be filmed for anthropological study.
First, you gotta commission the construction of the pot.
Time to establish a whale hunt watching tour.
