Whale Hunting By the Makah Tribe

Whale hunting has become a lifestyle of Makah Tribe for more than 2000 years ago. They traditionally rely on whales to survive, and they use fat and fat. Dependence on whale hunting makes whales an integral part of Maka culture. Whales are their songs, dances, designs and baskets. It gave them disciples and was proud of their tribe. However, during the past 70 years, horses have been forbidden for horses, due to whites, whales they hunt, and a list of extinctions.

Maka, a tribe of whale hunting, needs only eight people to gather in canoes to effectively eliminate whales. The po attached to it is usually between 16 and 18 feet in length, and when it is about 3 feet from the water surface, it is thrown by a large creature. After the first puncture, a few spears stuck into the whale. Eight hours, or even days, eight people tried to kill whales for depletion and blood loss.

In order to fully understand whaling controversy, it is necessary to understand the history of Maka. They are a group of indigenous people who hunt the gray whale. As a result of the increase in trade with Europeans, "white people" decided to join the whale. This competition between Marka and 'Caucasian' has destroyed whales. Because they loved nature and respected whales, Makah voluntarily decided to avoid whale hunting. However, it is worth noting that in 1855, Governor General Washington agreed to the Gulf Treaty and gave Maca the right to hunt whales. This is the center of controversy. Makah has recently announced the right to search for a whale after seventy years and is now resuming hunting for whales. Makah's reasoning is a relatively simple reasoning. In 1946, the number of blue whale was 2,000, but now it is over 26,000.
