      abstract = {"Following the removal of the gray whale from the  Endangered Species list in 1994, the Makah tribe of  northwest Washington State announced that they would revive  their whale hunts; their relatives, the Nuu-chah-nulth  Nation of British Columbia, shortly followed suit. Neither  tribe had exercised their right to whale--in the case of  the Makah, a right affirmed in their 1855 treaty with the  federal government--since the gray whale had been hunted  nearly to extinction by commercial whalers in the 1920s.  The Makah whale hunt of 1999 was an event of international  significance, connected to the worldwide struggle for  aboriginal sovereignty and to the broader discourses of  environmental sustainability, treaty rights, human rights,  and animal rights. It was met with enthusiastic support and  vehement opposition.},
