~~~~~~OT~~~~~~ Whaling. The TV video I saw showed them using a very small boat. They were practicing using a harpoon. I hope they all are very good swimmers. I thought the Grey whale came off the endangered spiecies list. Taking whales isn't unusual in Alaska for the Eskimo tribes, Narwhals mostly. I haven't given it much thought as this was the first I have heard of this. Native American heritage and traditions are no problem for me. The question becomes, should whales be excempt. If so, we better help those narwhals out. What about seals? While we are at it though, what other spieces are on the Native American list? Should the plains tribes not be allowed to take eagle feathers? Whatever the policies are, they should be consistant. Greys are cool, Humpbacks much cooler! The guys do all the talking! :o)

*** Off Topic -- whale hunting *** re: The Makah tribe is asserting some obscure aboriginal right to hunt whales. They claim that this is some sort of spiritual revival, and the hunt demonstrates some sort of respect for the whale. Hi Chuz, We differ on this one... maybe. I think perhaps they SHOULD have the right to assert their 'obscure aboriginal right to hunt whales' ..... with one single proviso: they must use only 'obscure aboriginal canoes' and 'obscure aboriginal weapons and equipment' to accomplish this. In order to show 'proper respect' for the whale. ;-) Regards, 3.
