Not sure how to feel about Tribal Hunting…

[magtech]

I don't think this is how that works.

It was a joke about how politicans claim to be tribal even though theyre 1% or less.

Depending on the tribe it’s exactly how it works. I live a mile from two and work on both daily have a lot of experience.

Duck valley in Idaho and Nevada seems managed quite well. But the issue of treaty rights involves far more than hunting on reservations. For example, treaty agreements regarding salmon fishing on the Columbia involve Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and even Canada, because minimum stream flows continue to be extensively negotiated. There are serious implications for hydropower and the entire Northwest energy grid.

My wife and kids are card carrying so this intrigues me. I’d imagine they need to be part of the tribe that manages the land they are attempting to hunt though.

does not seem right to me.

Isn't this the gist of the gun control movement?

"I don't like a right you have, so we need to take it away!"

This is one of my favorite retardo-takes.

Native Americans, like most any other culture, modified their lives as technologies developed and allowed. I don't know where you draw the line in time, maybe when the treaty was signed, but prior to that they adopted use of the horse and the firearm. By that logic one could say adaptation is a tradition in and of itself.

Which is why treaty "rights" hunting is merely a hobby now and not a necessity. Even for them...

Not the same. The so-called hunting "right" is granted specifically to a race or creed and not everyone.

Supposing it's tribe dependent. The ones I'm familiar with have to provide lineage, else I'd be up in Montana slaying bison to my heart's content.

Is it a right to those people?

I have high cheekbones.

That counts, right?

To be eligible for tribal enrollment you must have a minimum % of native bloodline. The lowest is 6.5%. Some tribes require as much as 50%/one parent is native America. The reservation I have hunted on requires 25%. I actually found this information on a site called, Pow Wow. com. Yes that is the actual name of the site.

That is 1000% not how it works.

It’s very interesting to see how arrogant some folks still are

This is not universally applicable. I am a member of the Osage Nation. It is very complicated. Try to claim Osage membership without direct lineage to an original headright holder and …good luck.

Watch Killers of the Flower Moon to see the relevance of headrights.

He lives in Mobridge, SD. He doesn't need a link. He lives it every single day. I too was pretty idealistic and naïve when I moved to Mobridge. Not all tribes and reservations are the same. No different than anything else.
You can't talk about them in 1 scope.

I'm also a Hopi tribal member. A person needs to provide proof of lineage before one can be a enrolled tribal member. It just does not go by blood quantum. As for hunting, we did not have outer hunts for elk and deer for the last 3 years due to not having a wildlife ecosystems director. This year is the first in 3 years that we finally have hunts since the tribe was able to find a director. Other wise the only way to get an elk or deer is to apply for a ceremonial permit to harvest.

I have no problem with them sorting it out their own way. What I don’t like is when they roll up on me in the dark to tell me the last guy that hiked as close to the property line as me got shot at.

Your comments about “might have hunted bison” are not thought out correctly. If that’s how you feel why don’t you ride into the reservation on a wagon piled by a team of oxen and load up your musket?

Would you go live on the rez to have the same right?
