Description:
For centuries the hunting of the whale was what defined the Makah, a Native American tribe living on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. But when commercial hunters managed to drive the gray whale to near extinction seventy years ago, the Makah stopped whaling. Then in 1995, when the gray whale was taken off the endangered species list, the Makah waged an epic legal battle to win permission to hunt the whale and were finally granted it. The catch was that all the old whalers were dead.
