FROM THE ARCHIVE
DECEMBER 6, 2000 Representatives from several Alaska Native villages and the Cook Inlet Treaty Tribes attended a hearing on Tuesday to discuss proposed rules regarding the regulation of beluga whales in Cook Inlet. The new rules would limit the harvest and use of beluga whales. They also provide for an exception to allow Alaska Natives to hunt them for subsistence or traditional purposes. Lawyers representing Athabaskan villages said the regulations need to allow for an increase in the number of whales the tribes are allowed to hunt. The village of Tyonek has an agreement to take one this year. Get the Story:
