New Makah judge takes over tribal proceedings against whalers
Neah Bay, Washington (AP)
A new chief judge has taken over the Makah Tribe’s case against five whalers who killed a gray whale without a permit last year. Stanley Meyers, a former Neah Bay resident who is not an American Indian, was hired after the tribe declined to renew the contract of the previous chief judge, Jean Vitalis, whose objectivity had been questioned after she publicly criticized the whale hunt. The tribe’s associate judge, Emma Doulik, recused herself, citing her strong emotions over the hunt. |
