If the Makah’s really cared about the environment, and all the fallacies attributed to being a member of a Tribe, they would clean up their Reservation and develop a market for the invading ecosystem destroying California Sea Lions that are hugely responsible, right behind the State and Federal Fish managers of massively depleting Salmon runs and other valuable fish species.
I live close to the Makah Reservation, one of the most beautiful places in America until you get into the area where the Indians live. Want to see what the term used by all dimocRAT’s “OUR DEMOCRACY” would look like if they got total power? Go drive through a Western Indian Reservation is all there to see.
I went out there the last time the Makah’s did a ceremonial Whale Hunt. While there were traditional Cedar Log Canoes there were also twin screwed fishing boats and instead of harpooning the Whale, they shot it with a .50 caliber Barrett Carbine.
The government needs to let the Indians go.

More humane than a traumatic death by spearing.
I’ve driven by the Swinomish Res near Anacortes and it’s not a pretty sight.
