[Jaimie-W21060]

Though I understand the Makahs stopped hunting whales years ago, I still support their action. Like most Native Americans, their culture is endangered. Because of a myriad of factors, sustaining traditional culture in modern times is a difficult thing to do. Getting funding to renew cultural interests is difficult, and young tribal members are often not inclined to learn a language and system of beliefs that isn’t widely admired by the United States. Symbolic acts can often regenerate interest in preserving culture and can unite many people. I believe the whale hunting is a symbolic act for the Makah and not just a result of their “rights.”
