*update* Makah Whale Hunt Case
Makah whalers enter guilty plea in rogue hunt
06:16 PM PDT on Thursday, March 27, 2008 KING 5 News staff SEATTLE - Three Makah tribal members changed their plea to guilty Thursday, and two others will go to trial over the hunt of a California gray whale last September. Frankie Gonzales, William Secor and Theron Parker all pleaded guilty to knowingly taking a marine mammal in U.S. waters. They did not have a federal permit for the hunt, nor did they have permission from the tribe. Their future hunting rights will not be affected by their plea, a concern they had at an earlier hearing on Monday. They are expected to serve no jail time in exchange for the guilty plea.

The Makah have been whalers for centuries, and have sought to resume the hunts as part of their heritage.
