I'm not particularly against seal hunting, but I don't get the native argument you seem to be presenting. The whole argument for a native hunt being exempt from bans is that it's a traditional way of life that's been going on for thousands of years. But were they selling furs to Europe then?

I was wondering, as a non-native, if you think the reservation system should just be abolished? It's pretty obvious that no treaty is going to be recognized and that native Americans are not going to get their land back. The sovereignty enjoyed by tribes seems to be the equivalent of what you'd have in regular towns and counties anyway. Tribal heritage might be BETTER preserved by integration. Successful people with more money would have an easier time funding traditional arts. The reservation system seems like an attempt to ignore reality and ends up preventing native Americans from enjoying a reasonable quality of life.
