Are they going to hunt them from birch bark canoes using flint-tipped spears?

yes, they are using traditional Native hunting methods, that's the whole point

and they only take 1 whale per year

but on the NW Coast they use large dugout canoes, made from giant cedars, holding 6-10 hunters

contrast that with the industrial-harvesting the Japanese continue do, claiming "research"

(*btw, the Makah are the only tribe in the lower 48 to have whale-hunting permissions written into their treaty with the US Gov't. (Treaty of Neah Bay, 1855))
