What do you mean their right to practice tradition? Are you telling me that if I was to witness an animal being harvested under the harvest right that I will be witness to a traditional hunt? That I would love to see and would bring my entire family to see and learn from the expirience, I’m not being sarcastic about that either.
Blasting a moose out the window of your truck isn’t what was intended when these harvest rights were given out. Access to grocery stores was very limited and I’m sure was extremely limited for the natives back then.
I would love for someone to correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me that harvest rights today are merely lip service to sooth hurt feelings, like a parent giving a child candy to stop them from whining. The parent knows that the candy is no good for the child but just doesn’t want to deal with the whining.
I think a petition should be started demanding that traditional harvest rights not be altered or abused and only be enacted during a traditional ceremony. This way it’s fair to all people. The natives will still be able to have their traditional hunts and harvest rights and it will allow our conservation efforts to not be in vane.
