Please don't get me wrong. I've alot of respect for Alaska Natives trying to scratch-out a living in an environment that too often wants you dead. I also realize the need to stay connected with the land you, and your forefathers live(d) on. What I'm trying to say here is that everyone needs to be honest when it comes to discussing these issues. If you don't you'll never get anywhere. Those guys were probably trying to make a bunch of extra money off walrus tusks so they could buy better equipment or food, etc. to see them through till next year. The problem is they give other subsistence hunters a bad name, and one that sticks. Likewise, some white people have given all white people a bad name. There's just alot more white people to go around, so bad behavior only looks to be more pervasive, when it really isn't. For instance in my 51 year lifetime, I've only encountered 1 person who had been in the KKK, and even that person abandoned them. Nobody's out to "get" you.
