You explained it well. I'm glad to know there are people doing it that way and I hope you carry on like that.


I like hearing bagpipes. One of my uncles plays them and I think some old ways are worth preserving and passing on. (Not going to make anyone else listen.)

Kinda funny. I won't say I like bagpipes, BUT, since a long time ago, back in my infantry days (Highlanders in the distance), hearing them always stirs something inside of me.

"...the group harvested six animals in total: three elk, two bighorn sheep and one whitetail deer, all of which will be shared by the community...."

"Parks Canada was proud to support the Simpcw First Nation to conduct traditional harvest activities in Jasper National Park in a safe and sustainable way," Alan Fehr, a field unit superintendent, said in the release."

"...The traditional hunt in Jasper National Park was another step toward reconciliation for the First Nation, and the government's recognition of the importance of the hunt was key...."

Prepare for this to be an annual hunt, with an increase in animals taken.


If enough city goers get up in arms about how the indians are hunting "the beautiful animals in the park which we leave our concrete jungle to go visit" perhaps the hunt will stop. Not likely because screw equality but it would be a start.
 
I have no problem with any of this.. But at least come clean about the fishery and bear harvest is about making a living..Don't keep on hiding behind tradition''

That is what I was told by a native and his son .. in the bush
 
Holy chit those are some Very very impressive animals for substance hunting
Do you think those where the first ones they saw or did they pass up
Some does and ewes for some REAL TROPHIES
What a crock of kaka
I’m not impressed one bit
Next they will sell the antlers , horns etc or just throw them in the corner
And let the mice chew them
And they can tell their grand children the big hunting story
About how hard they worked and it took 10 days or more to kill a beautiful
Big Horn like that in a National Park
This really pissed me off when I saw those pics
And Trudeau isn’t doing ANYTHING to HELP the SITUATION

I have no issue with a controlled hunt like this. It's the legal, uncontrolled hunting across Canada with no seasons or bag limits that I have an issue with.

Agreed. I actually know one of the native hunters who went. There is no shortage of what they were hunting, in fact they're out of control the Jasper populations, and this move accepts hunting is not an evil practice and is traditional and part of some people's heritage. All for it, though I wish there was an expansion of what groups can claim hunting is part of their traditions, simply from a standpoint of protecting our traditions. I don't mean expanding harvests.

Yes the world has changed and technology too, I don't expect them to hunt with stone points, as neither do we. What exactly has been the harm in six or eight animals being harvested by the descendants of the area's former inhabitants, in a place as big as Jasper? Nothing.

I'm not all for plane loads of caribou being shot in Manitoba and Quebec "traditionally", but this is far, far different and fully sustainable.
 
And good for them. The natives where I outfit hunted Grizzlies for thousands of years for the skins. They took eagles and adorned masks with the feathers. Those were trophies too, as is the beautiful buck in your avatar, it's not like they aren't eating these sheep and elk. Also not likely you'd be less offended if they only shot spike bulls. Or six points. Or cows. Unless we want to all claim to be freezer fillers only who leave antlers, skins, and horns in the bush we have to get over it that they love to hunt too and were given a remarkably rare opportunity to hunt the ground their families did a hundred and more years ago. The whole issue here isn't gear, it isn't that they took cows or nice rams, it's exclusion. I don't blame these particular guys for that in their situation, and am happy to see the door cracked to them in Jasper, and sustainably. I'm more concerned with seeing less fighting between natives and non-natives over logging road access and unsustainable massive harvests of some particular species than I am of some guys hunting where their great grandparents did.

too bad that land was sold over and over and over. we shouldn't be punished for deals gone south hundreds of years ago.

In this case, we’re not. Literally doesn’t affect either of our lives in any way.

Makes me wonder if you are a PETA plant that worked on the inside with your NDP and Green pals to get the grizzly hunt shut down?
 
This hunt is a publicity stunt, nothing else. Window dressing. It won't prevent anyone from starving and it doesn't change anything in regard to views natives and non natives have about current situations. The top Parks Canada officials and liberal politicians can pat themselves on the back and say to the world "look what we've done!", and the media and gullible populace eat it up. It's no different than a PM wearing a headdress while sitting in a sweat lodge.Anyone with half a brain should be rolling their eyes.
