Image description

Using the eight-man wooden paddling canoe "Hummingbird," Makah tribesmen tow the Gray whale they killed offshore of Ozette, Washington, on May 17. The North-migrating whale was harpooned several times and then shot with a .50-caliber rifle three times to kill it, making this the first successful Makah Tribe Gray Whale hunt in 70 years. The Makahs then towed the whale for several hours to the tribe's coastal reservation in the Strait of Juan De Fuca. This controversial but U.S. Government approved hunt, which started last October, was postponed through the winter due to heavy seas. APB/HB/WS
