Makah Nation receives Whaling Quota from IWC.

[sporling1]

Many of the comments seem very ignorant and selfish. I support the right for tribes to be able to hunt, but the fact is that the whales ARE close to extinction, regardless of who is responsible. To ignore this fact just because your not responible for it, or because it is inconvient, is just foolish and shameful. It's because of people who think like this, that many indiginous tribes get no hunting privledges at all.

Hayden Panatierre is one smart lady and foxy too. She is on my side. All Hail the Makah Nation and their prosperity, they sustain the fishery. i wrote a story in my book Return of the Ancient Mariners. I only hope the Makah people will like my story.

they dont understand jack shit and they know it!!!!!! we take better care and took better care of our country and our natuarl resourse than the parasite invaders! let my Makah brothers and sisters hunt again

I love how western imperialist celebs think they can just decide who is and who is not allowd to hunt whales based on their history.

The Japanese have been whaling for 4000 years. Westerners have no right to intervein in their research into their culture. I am also very happy to know that the IWC is allowing native tribes to continue their practices! We do not have the right to take the rights of natives away! It was westerners who destroyed the whale populations in the first place!

We the Makah have always hunted whales, not everyday but in certain times. We Exercise this through our 1855 treaty. Our ancestor we're better then you "whites" so shove off with marine mammel protection act! MAKAH 4 LIFE!

[harr7959]

Don't forget, it was not natives who over-fished the oceans! They have no right to destroy cultures because of THEIR problems!

Natives never over fished or hunted. It was and still is the White Devils which over fish and over hunt to point of extinction.

keith sure looks good. knew him when he could run a mile and a half and played volleyball. been about 20 years.

[MULTINESIA]

Makah Nation is exercising its sovereign rights under IWC and 1855 treaty with the US. Makah did not hunt whales to the brink of extinction; those whose ancestors implemented mass slaughter can take responsibilty for that. KIA KAHA!

Why even respond to someone named superhonkygringo?

It's just a troll-- here to cause trouble--spouting garbage about ndns. Everyone knows that machine-gun rumor was just that.

The Makah can settle this themselves.
