They also asserted that their right to hunt whales was guaranteed by treaty with the US government. The 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay, states in part: "The right of taking fish and of whaling or sealing at usual and accustomed grounds and stations is further secured to said Indians in common with all citizens of the United States." They have not only asserted the right but have followed through by taking at least one whale since courts confirmed their right to do so.
