Nothin like opening a can of worms. Here is the short version of my thoughts. I have nothing against native people at all, however I have a problem with their hunting rights. Here native people can hunt 24/7/365 days a year for free. They claim that their ancestors had this right so they should also, fine but hunt like your ancestors. How is a population supposed to stand up if they are using old native laws with europeans technology. If they want to bowhunt fine but i do not believe that hunting anytime of the year with a rifle, truck, spotlight is ethical. It is not even hunting anymore it becomes a slaughter. As a result here our moose population has decreased dramatically. Part of the reason is ticks but another contributer is over hunting. I agree that there is no place for rasism or discrimination in this world. Because I am not a native person i have to pay to hunt and must abide by the season dates. Can I help that my parents were not native? I feel as though I am disriminated against because I am caucasian. Name one other culture that is given special priveleges as soon as they are born? My point is not to create negative views towards native people. I have several friends here that are native and i would be singing the same tune if for example scotish people had these same privleges. it just doesn't make sense to me, but then again not much does.
