Some go on to guide other hunters. But there remain a number of ongoing barriers, ranging from climate change to sovereign rights challenges.

Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce gets a snapshot of what this year’s elk, caribou, and moose season is like in selected places and how tribes are working to solve hurdles to traditional practices.
