Kluane First Nation
Shame on people like Luke and the KFN for making blood money off animals whose heads...
As Vikings, the particular people from whom I descend, the pillaging and raping of other peoples was an activity...
Mr. Faires, your post is the first I have ever seen that makes sense
Kluane First Nation has the right to hunt and trap within Kluane National Park
I am finding it hard to reconcile subsistence hunting based on ancestry and tradition with the modern practice of big game outfitting
Next Kluane sheep hunt will be taking place in Kluane National Park
