GOVERNOR 3.XKS NATIVE 3T.d\iD ON BIRDS
Gov, Egan has expressed belief that a
Canadian court decision upholding the taking
of ducks and geese by Eskimoos and Indians
for food should be accepted as national pol
c icy by the United States.
He said the Canadian decision parallels
the view he has often expressed that the
spirit and interest of the ki.gr at ory Bird
Treaty of 1916 did not contemplate res
trictions on the subsistence heeds of .arctic
d Eskimoes and Indians,
"That this was the understanding of all
nations who were signatories to the treaty
is obvious"he said. -"For almost b6 years,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service per
mitted such taking of birds for subsistence
purposes without interference". >
This wise a d judicious policy, he said,
not only made it possible for Indians and
Eskimoes of the difficult-to-service .arctic
areas to have needed fresh meat at a time
when other supplies were unobtainable but
also..according to studies by the Fish and
Wildlife oorvice itself...provided no hind
rance to the enlargement of the bird pop
ulations .
Gov. Egan made this statement in crit
icizing a published warning by a Fish and
Wildlife bcrvicc representative in .PLaska
that persons taking ducks and .nose before
September would be arrested.
