During a previous hunt, Chief Chowig noticed that the Russian hunters were taking more sea otters than they were allowed as per the agreed-upon terms. Additionally, he observed that they were targeting female otters, which could potentially harm the local otter population. These actions raised suspicions and violated the hunting protocols established between the Russian hunters and the local community.
Captain Orlov and Chief Chowig agree that the hunting rights will be equally shared between the Russian hunters and the Aleut hunters, with the Russians hunting on the mainland and the Aleuts hunting on the nearby islands. This arrangement helps ensure that both groups have access to the best hunting grounds and resources in the area.
