I watched this on tv the other day and the more I saw, the more angry I got. While I am not an extremist or any right wing (or is it left wing) fanatic, I struggle to see why the federal government allows a seperate set of rules to another group of people withing the U.S. boundries. They preach that we should forget the prejudices of the past, yet they allow it to happen every day. The thing that disturbed me the most about the whale hunt was watching people get on top of the whale as they brought it to the beach with what appeared to be beer bottles in their hands. Now I am not an expert on the religious heritage they applied to hunt this whale under, but it seemed to be lacking a religious atmosphere. As a side note, I have heard, not exactly sure on this, that under the same treaty they are hiding behind, I mean, using the justify this hunt, that the use of alcohol is prohibited on the reservation. If this is true, why does only part of the treaty apply? and who gets to decide which paragraphs apply?
