Harpooning A Fishy Tradition
By Kerrie N. Rezac
(June, 2000 'WasteWatcher,' CAGW's official newsletter)
[Editor's note: the Citizens Against
Government Waste (CAGW) is a watchdog group who monitors government spending
and lets taxpayers know when information is available on government
waste. You may remember a few years back when they informed the public
about the outrageous prices paid by our government for things like toilet
seats, ashtrays, and nuts & bolts. You can find their website at
<www.cagw.org>]
Whether you are Tevye, the lead in the musical Fiddler on the Roof, or a member
of an American Indian tribe trying to resurrect a long forgotten hunting
custom, you have to know that some traditions just aren’t worth keeping.
Especially if they cost the taxpayers $5 million.
While cutting back on normal operations (such as ticketing drunken boaters and
arresting drug smugglers) due to increasing oil prices, the Coast Guard is
spending $11,550 an hour to help the Makah Indian Tribe of Washington resurrect
a “tradition.” Ironically, Coast Guard spokesman John O’Dell has
remarked, “If it is not a life-threatening situation, we have to ask how much
involvement from the Coast Guard there should be.” Apparently the rules
change if the Clinton-Gore administration wants something.
In Neah Bay, Wash., the federal government has doled out almost $5 million to
help the Makah Indian Tribe resurrect the “tradition” of hunting gray
whales. But the Makah hunt is not a tradition at all. Unlike 21st
century Makah, earlier Makah did not wear Nikes and Adidas and use automatic
rifles on their hunts. The early tribesmen certainly did not get government
funding for their hunting. Their sense of pride came from having
conducted the hunt themselves.
The current situation no doubt has the Makah’s ancestors rolling in their
burial mounds. The federal government spent $200,000 just to obtain
permission for the hunt from the International Whaling Commission (IWC).
Uncle Sam also spent $735,000 to show members of the tribe how to kill and eat
their prey. And then there are the Coast Guard escorts who watched the
“hunters” do cannonballs off the sides of their canoe for three hours.
All in order to restore a sense of “culture” in the tribe’s children.
After the gray whale was taken off the Endangered Species List in 1994, the
Makah requested the government’s assistance in resurrecting their
“tradition.” The tribe made their appeal under an 1855 treaty in which
the U.S. government agreed not to interfere with Makah tradition. So far,
no one has stopped to consider whether a federal handout is, by its very
definition, government interference and a violation of the 145-year-old pact.
Further, the Makah accepted the wampum despite the fact that the tribe had
voluntarily given up whaling early in the 20th century and, in the 1970s, a
tribal council decided against resurrecting the whaling tradition. Many
of the tribe’s elders (including one woman who was fired from her job after she
spoke out against whaling) still believe the hunt is unnecessary.
In order to kill the whales legally, the Makah first had to gain permission
from the IWC. And so a federal spending spree began (despite the fact
that 43 congressmen signed a petition against sanctioning the hunt). The tribe
received $200,000 for 15 tribesmen and their lawyer to attend the 1997 IWC
conference in Monaco. The IWC limits whaling rights to cultures that
depend on the whale for subsistence or that have a long, unbroken whaling
tradition. The Makah needed to convince the IWC that they fell into one
of these categories.
The Makah and their lawyers failed in this endeavor. The Oct. 23, 1997,
IWC decision, which supposedly allows the Makah tribe to kill four whales per
year, never mentions the tribe by name. The IWC decision not to sanction
the Makah hunt makes sense, since the tribe does not depend on the whale for
subsistence and their cultural “tradition” was voluntarily abandoned
twice. But the intrepid Makah whalers had no need to worry — the pale
faces in Washington would cook up a deal.
The government struck an understanding, outside formal IWC discussions, with
Russian and American aboriginal tribes. (The tribes’ practices have long
been sanctioned by the IWC because the whale is the main source of food and
income for these tribes.) In a deal with these tribes, the Makah were
given 4 of the 120 whales that the tribes are allotted annually by the IWC.
It is this agreement, and not the language of the IWC decision, that gives the
Makah the permission for their hunt.
Spending on the Makah did not stop after the pow-wow in Morocco. The
government also gave the Makah:
* $300,000 for a grant to “prepare” for the hunt, because the tribe had given
up whaling almost a century earlier and there was no one left in the tribe who
actually knew how to hunt whales;
* $435,000 for a grant to teach the tribe how to eat the whale meat;
* $335,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the
National Marine Fisheries Service to ensure that domestic and
international whaling laws are followed (although it appears that the
government has already skirted around the IWC law);
* $87,000 directly from the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the hunt; and
* $13,910 from the U.S. Marshall’s Office for Operation Harpoon.
Nor did the federal government’s spending spree cease when the Makah entered
the water, even though almost $1 million had already been spent. The federal
and local governments also dipped into taxpayers’ pockets to make sure the
Makah were not disturbed by protesters. Therefore:
* $751,295 was spent for the National Guard and FBI to monitor anti-whalers at
the 1998 Makah Days celebration (not one anti-whaler showed up, so the federal
delegation watched ceremonial dances);
* Approximately $50,000, including a $10,000 grant from the federal government,
was used by the Clallam County Sheriff to prepare for the whaling events and
the phantom anti-whalers;
* $924,000 was used for Coast Guard escorts for the spring 2000 hunt at $11,550
per hour (the fall 1998 and spring and fall 1999 hunts were also provided Coast
Guard escorts; and
* $44,800 was spent on legal fees during Metcalf v. Daley, which questioned the
environmental impact of the hunt.
While the government was being so generous with taxpayers’ dollars, two Clallam
County Prison workers, who also happen to be Makah Indians, were arrested for
using prison equipment to make whaling tools. One female protester was
run over on her jet ski while the Coast Guard was patrolling the waters with
the Makah.
The tribe, whose members do not pay taxes, is having a whale of a time with
federal tax dollars. They have hired a Beltway-based public relations firm
to help with the tribe’s “image.” It shouldn’t be difficult for the Makah
to find the means to pay for these services since the government has already
given them millions. The tribe spent $100,000 of their government funds
for a potlatch party to celebrate their 1999 catch. Who would throw a
$100,000 party for less than 70 people? The same people who would spend
$640 on a toilet seat: the federal government.
As Tevye learned in Fiddler on the Roof, traditions disappear. But in
this particular case, it is our tax dollars that are disappearing — far faster
than any whaling tradition of the Makah.

Jay Dinshah Memorial
The
40th Annual Convention of the American Vegan Society (which will take the form
of a memorial to the lifework of H. Jay Dinshah) will take place from 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 noon on Tuesday, July 11, 2000 at the 34th World Vegetarian
Congress in Toronto, Canada. This time change has been made so that speakers
such as Howard Lyman and Robert Cohen can more easily attend and speak at the
memorial. In addition, the Convention has been moved to a larger room to
accommodate the anticipated audience. These changes have been approved by Freya
Dinshah who wants the convention and memorial held early in the week of the
Congress.
While this will be the only public memorial to Jay organized by the American
Vegan Society, there will be tributes to him at the Animal Rights 2000
conference and at Vegetarian Summerfest. In addition there will be a gathering
of family, friends and close associates at the Dinshah home on June 24th.
The American Vegan Society will be operating the book room at the Congress.

Vegan Egg Salad
From VegeTexan@aol.com
"Oh! How many will they be that never come to birth!
Of eggs which being eaten cannot form chickens." - Leonardo da Vinci
Mori-Nu makes a product called Tofu Helper, at
least the packages I have say Tofu Helper, but the Mori-Nu website calls it
Tofu Hero.
Welcome to Mori-Nu Tofu
http://www.morinu.com/
Maybe Hamburger Helper made them change the name.
It comes in three flavors: Shanghai Stir Fry, Garden Scrambler and Italian Herb
Medley. The Italian is good for making a ricotta cheese like substance for
stuffing pasta shells. The Garden Scrambler makes a good breakfast dish and a
good eggless salad.
1 box Mori-nu tofu
1 package Mori-nu Garden Scrambler (or Fantastic Foods brand Tofu
Scrambler)
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup diced celery (I like to use just the leaves for this)
3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
3 tablespoons sliced olives
3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (I use Vegenaise brand)
Mince or crumble tofu into a large skillet, add 1/4 cup water and stir in the
Scrambler mix. Cook for five to seven minutes until moisture has
evaporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool for several minutes.
Stir in the other ingredients and chill for a couple of hours. Serve with
whole grain bread, lettuce and other accessories.

Magnificent Obsession
by tapster@mindspring.com
You are my magnificent obsession I come back to
time and time again I see your face in agony
befuddled I cannot decipher whether it's a dog
a cow, a cat, or a pig who is being tortured
I surmise everyone knows, like myself
who possesses conscience and this is
why I cannot give up the ghost without
them knowing I went to my grave
In the hopes of rescuing as many as I
could from the plague which perverts
all mankind.
The plague of tasty flesh eating:
I am obsessed with rescuing them
I see no difference in those we
pet and those we eat.
do you?
You are my magnificent obsession.
When I play the cow magnet
fat cashiers laugh until I tell
them it is the sound of the
slaughterhouse. I don't want
to hear it she said. I told
her I no longer eat them
because of their moos
their boo hoos
she was glad I left the scene
and when she dines tonite
she may think of me
and the cow now
don't let the evil forces
keep you down from
exposing the truth
exposing the lies
you are my magnificent obsession.

Quote To Remember
"Only Man wears leather shoes. No wait, cows wear leather shoes too,
but they try to make two pairs last a lifetime.
