If the Makah's get another permit for whale, I'm heading up there for a taste. As far as eagles are concerned, there are plenty, just like there are plenty of whales. Neither is endangered, both have recovered, and limited harvest should not pose any issue.

Given the opportunity to shoot an eagle, I wouldn't do it.

Given the opportunity to plunge the harpoon into a whale, or perform the finishing shot, or participate in the flensing? I'm there, ready to pay the price of admission.

In some ways I don't agree with a lot of tribal issues, but as far as harvesting game, I really don't have much of an issue.
