Makah people tended to descend their culture to one another and ran on their traditions through generations. Makah tribe practiced whale hunting in the past as one of their historical traditions when they were given permission after Treaty of Neah. The Makah harvested whale for provisions and countries-exporting values. But most people think it 's demoralizing to kill a pure, innocent mammal

For fifteen hundred years the Makah having been conducting whale hunts with it being one of the main aspects of their culture. In 1855 a treaty was signed in which they forfeited thousands of acres of their land to the federal government in exchange for the ability to continue their whale hunts. However, in the 1920s traditional whale hunting by the Makah stopped for a variety of reasons. In 1937 grey whaling was official out lawed. Fast forward to 1995 when the Makah culture wanted to resume the

The Makah tribal reservation, held in Washington’s most upper northwest corner, retained tribal power throughout the past into the present. Throughout the centuries, whales have remained a key aspect of the Makah tribal nation identity through cultural values and practices, compared to the other Coast Salish nation tribes who valued fishing salmon and growing camas.

The parties involved in this case analysis are the Makah tribe, the young members of the Makah tribe, the elder members of the Makah tribe, the Makah tribal leaders, the gray whales, and the environmental community. The moral issues for this case analysis are the safeguarding of the gray whale population, which was on the decline back in the 1920’s. Another moral issue is the fact that the Makah tribal leaders want to use whale hunting as a way of re-establishing traditions, pride, and discipline

Suite 1100 Portland, OR 97232 From: Wren Lynberg Re: Makah Request for Waiver of MMPA Moratorium Dear Mr. Stone, After carefully reviewing the available background information on the Makah Indian Tribe’s request for a waiver of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) moratorium against hunting of gray whales, I believe that the waiver by the Makah peoples should be approved. I agree with the Makah Tribe’s position that their treaty rights, granted to them in the Treaty

been trying to stop the hunting of whales. The Makah people have been the main subjects to the opposition of whaling on the basis that it is unnecessary for their culture or their survival. This has been an ongoing issue since 1999, when they harvested their first whale in 70 years. The violent backlash received has prevented them from gaining permission to hunt after that which led to the illegal killing of a whale in 2007.
