Intro
• Lately there has been much controversial in the news about tribes being exempt from cases, statutes, and regulations, and regulations. This has been an issue lately because they are allowing tribes to hunt and fish off their reservations that is not the problem the problem is they still do not have to abide by the statutes and regulations. I do not agree with this, if tribal members are going to hunt and fish off their land they should have to abide by the same rules as everyone else because it has already and will cause more issues with non-tribe member hunters. Also tribes are trying to convince the state to allow them to hunt animals on their reservations that are not in there their (such as spotlight deer). Tribes should have to abide by the law when they are not hunting on their reservations, and when they are hunting or fishing on their land they must abide by their signed treaties. Also as to not cause confusion when tribe member are hunting off reservations, all tribe should have to abide by the same tagging and permit policies/ guideline.

As a result of treaties, statutes, E.O.s, and judicial decrees, certain tribal governments and State governments may have shared responsibilities to co-manage fish and wildlife resources. In such cases, and where Service jurisdiction is involved, we will consult and collaborate with tribal governments and affected State or local resource management agencies to help meet the objectives of all parties while honoring the Federal trust responsibility. In addition, we will work with tribal governments when managing ESA-listed species in accordance with S.O.s 3206 and 3225. When managing Service lands, we will consult and collaborate with affected tribal governments to solicit meaningful tribal input on resource use and management for those

Tribal lands were not all purely native Americans. Interracial marriages encouraged the potential for bully and abuse within their own tribal lands. This encouraged formal acts of government within the tribes such as, court trials that resulted in the extension of Native American sovereignty. But it also allowed for the tribes to govern themselves “legal grey areas” which were clearly evident to the Native Americans and many conflicts arose because of the procrastination of fixing the problem at hand. Native Americans have fought against the suppression of rights and discrimination but persevered adopting new rights to vote, along with the ability to self-govern their own communities and deal with their own domestic laws under the United States of
Human interaction with the Rocky Mountain States has shifted tremendously since the beginning of recorded history. These changes can be broken down into three phases. The first phase would be the communal posture held by Native Americans. This period of time ran from the Spanish colonization in the 16th century until the era of the mountain man. With the establishment of the United States a new period of exploration for exploitation began. A dramatic shift in human interaction occurred as the economic interests of the mountain men and the United States overrode the communal interests of the Native Americans, indeed, it began to envelop them. The era of exploitation would flourish until the Progressive Movement. The first generation of leaders to see the footprint left by the over-harvest of natural resources would start the shift in policy to one of sustainability. This shift has continued at different rates of change all the way through the modern era.
An orca, more commonly known as a killer whale, is currently one of the largest marine animals held in captivity. Countless arguments are being made, supporting and opposing captivity of orcas to be exploited as circus animals in theme parks around the world. Throughout recent history, Sea World trainers have been injured and killed by the orcas and the whales, and the whales themselves have been observed as severely depressed. If Sea World releases the whales, they would undergo an immense economic downfall and the whales would be too weak to survive in the wild if they were freed. Since the first Sea World park opened in San Diego, California in 1964, common questions have arose concerning the well-being of orcas in captivity, the dangers of humans training them, the physical capability of whales theoretically being released, and the psychological differences between whales living in the wild versus whales living in Sea World's confinement.
...ssentially they are their own country. In order for the tribe to have the tools necessary to maximize FEMA in case of an emergency, training must be provided on the reservations. The nuiances of each reservation can be addressed as well as the risks. Tribes would then be able to provide its members with the a better chance for a speedy recovery process.
...tes in each areas. Once a valuable natural resources is discovered on a reservation, the government desires they should be able to mine it, however the natives won't permit it. They are saying that it's their land which the government has no claim to that.
Fishing is a common hobby for all types of people. Native Americans can fish but deserve different fishing rights, rather than the ones they have now. When American settlers immigrated, Indians were reassured they would be compensated. Isaac I Stevens was then appointed as the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, he began to create treaties which included talking about fishing grounds. It was then signed to confirm the fishing rights and other agreed rights. Native Americans should have different fishing rights because they are their own sovereign nation, it’s part of their culture, and it was confirmed in the treaty.
The "reservation" policy is said to be policy that shrunk Indian Territory to the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory and to Oklahoma. All of the Natives customs were threatened. "Indians used buffalo for food, clothing, fuel and even shelter" (Carnes and Garraty 456). As a result of the invasion Indians stopped hunting and many tribes became infuriated. Indian response classified them as either "treaty" Indians or "non-treaty" Indians. "Treaty" Indians were the ones that their chief agreed to comply with the "reservation" policy so they signed it and took it to its people. The "non- treaty" Indians were the ones who refused to sign the policy and as a result would go to war with the U.S Army. In order to protect the "treaty" Indians they created the Department of Interior which was responsible for keeping the national security. This Department includes what is called the Bureau of Indians that provides education services to Indians.
Long ago, the Indians of the Pacific Northwest depended entirely on their environment to support them. They were successful, self-sufficient groups who relied on their own means to sustain life. However, since the domination of Indian lands by the United States, these indigenous peoples have not had the resources to maintain their way of living. Not only were their lands invaded, but their culture was compromised as well. In response to their discontent with the sub-par living conditions, the US government has introduced laws to allow these groups to uphold their ancient values, while giving them the rights necessary to maintain the ability to support themselves. This includes the sovereignty of reservation lands, which has lead to the construction of casinos as a major money-maker for the Native American people, and a great deal of controversy to go along with it. From the ancient times of to hunting and gathering, to the invasion of Americans on Indian lands, to the modern compromises between the US and Native American governing bodies, the evolution of Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest is astoni...
...he protection of allotments, and fire services, to name a few, are recognized as shared concerns of the tribal and federal governments. To this day Tribal leaders are active in pursuing federal resources for the benefit of their members. The transformation to a include Alaska as a key player in the modern America world is an ever evolving process. It would be wrong to think of Alaska as anything other than an important aspect of American life.
... it also says that Indians do not have to pay state sales tax on transactions made on an Indian reservation or local property taxes on reservation or trust lands. On Indian Reservations, only federal and tribal laws apply to members of the tribe, unless Congress provides otherwise. The treaties signed with Indian tribes are part of the US Constitution and honored by all members of government. Those who do not honor the treaties are considered to commit treason by disobeying them.
Because the AIRFA lacks direct implementation, it often requires federal agencies to review their rules and regulations to accommodate the practice of Native religions. In the 1988 Lyng vs. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association, the people of the Yurok, Karok, and Tolowa tribes challenged the U.S. Forest Service regarding the construction of a logging road through sacred land. The Supreme Court allowed the project to go on, viewing the land as dispensable to Native religious life (Deloria, 1992). The verdict was determined regardless of the Native testimony stating that the area “is not even a part of this world that we live in here. That place up there, the high country, belongs to the spirit and it exists in another world apart from us” (Deloria, 1992). This court case is just one of the numerous cases regarding Native sacred land claims.
Imagine wanting not a puppy, but a tiger for your birthday, imagine the expenses of that tiger and the dangers and hazards of owning that tiger. Do you really think it’s a good idea to get that tiger? No, it’s not. It’s a lot of work, and it’s also very dangerous. Exotic animals are not good to buy and have. If you buy that cute tiger, it will eventually grow up and not be so cute, it will be dangerous and strong, it’s also a wild animal and it’s very unpredictable, also there are many diseases you can catch from that tiger, and there are many dangers of having that tiger as well.

Imagine a world where there are no animals anywhere. There are still the ordinary cows, pigs, cats, dogs, but there is not a single tiger or rhinoceros. People all around the world have been killing animals for thousands of years and they need to stop and obey the laws. Make your voice heard for the animals; they can’t speak for themselves so we need to do it for them. Other reasons on why animals are getting put on the endangered species list and or going extinct: habitat intrusion, pet trade, climate change, and disease. Please help to save the animals or they won’t be here any longer.
