California gray whale shot with machine gun

No, death by machine gun is not a tribal custom.

Killing the whales is, and it was done according to ritual passed down through generations. I saw a documentary on it a few years ago, about the Inuit tribe in the Pacific Northwest, I believe (not sure).

The Indian tribe is saying they did NOT authorize this.

Except it didn't die, they didn't even do that right.

Well shit I want to start a 'cultural tradition' that consists of cutting the heads off of Makah indians who machine-gun whales. Hey traditions have to start somewhere huh?

[pacific breeze]

^^Exactly. No time like the present!
