The Makah Tribe has won federal approval to hunt gray whales off Washington’s coast, marking a significant victory in their decades-long quest to resume traditional whaling. The United States granted the tribe a long-sought waiver on Thursday, allowing them to legally hunt up to 25 Pacific gray whales over a 10-year period. This decision clears the way for the Makah Tribe's first sanctioned whale hunts since 1999, overcoming the largest hurdle in their nearly two-decade-long battle. The approval is expected to set the stage for renewed clashes with animal rights activists.
