Whats your point? Or is this just an excuse for your racism and ignorance of history and law to rear it's ugly head?

The Treaty doesn't say that they had to only use "traditional means" to take the whales. A sovereign Nation was forced to give up hundreds of thousands of acres of land and political power and promised specifically that they could hunt whales. Every court has that has heard the cases has reaffirmed the legality of the Treaty. Non Natives hunted the whales to the brink of extinction, not Natives. They had to wait for the population to rebound, and now their right is again being violated.

The same people that want to take away your/our rights to hunt and fish are attempting to stop it. The use of traditional means, canoe etc, are not covered in the treaty. Should our right to hunt be limited to muzzle loaders and no motor vehicles? Should we be allowed to use only hand lines to fish? Maybe bamboo poles? Why don't Natives have the right to benefit from technology also?

It wouldn't matter what the issue, the original poster and the uneducated that jump on the anti Native bandwagon just want to find ways to complain about Native practice in the same manner as a tantrum by a spoiled child.

No one can condone criminal activity, and even civil disobedience has it's consequences. However, that is not what this is really about.
