    I ran into this same thing as the Catalina Island thing in the Detroit area. The local Metroparks were overrun with whitetail and wasting disease. The locals didn't want hunters in there. They think hunters are unsafe (like the Bambi movie). They decided to trap and relocate deer until the projected cost was realized. So then, the helicopter snipers were put forward as the solution, and the animal rights people went insane. Even though the meat would be used to feed underprivileged residents. When I moved 2 years later, they were still fighting. It's maddening!

    Prehistoric planet is objectively THE best depiction of dinosaurs in modern media. They’ve portrayed them much more like actual animals instead of malicious fighting monsters. There is a lot of speculation of dinosaur behavior and physiology in the series, but all of it is based on scientific evidence borrowed from paleontology and how animals (mostly birds) act and interact in their environments in todays natural world. Pretty neat that Steve mentioned that series, I loved it! Even with Attenborough’s expelled sentences.

    British Columbia, Canada encountered a similar situation on Sydney Island. Instead of allowing legal hunters to ethnically harvest the non-native species of fallow deer that inhabit the island, the Canadian federal government hired foreign contractors to kill roughly 100 deer from helicopters using AR's with extended magazine capacities (both of which are prohibited in Canada). This was done at a cost of $10,000.00 per deer.
    The irony is, when addressing citizens regarding the 2020 AR ban the Prime Minister was famously quoted saying "You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer."
    In my opinion, he has proven that it indeed is possible to suck and blow at the same time.

    Its private land bought on the open market, generally that makes it straight foward.
    Isnt there a little difference though in that its then going into trust with a Native group or another ngo type project? If the land was bought by an individual or something like that i bet people are thinking it might actually be able to be bought again. In the other cases it probably never will be.

    Um, as a Wisconsinite with lots of relatives in MN: Giving public land to a tribe will absolutely result in shenanigans, extortion, abuse, and mismanagement if both the land itself and people on it.
    They can't even handle splitting a lake with us without kidnapping, false imprisonment, and violating law on "our side" of it where they have no jurisdiction.
    This is a terrible idea.

  • @billybob8228
    @billybob8228 5 місяців тому

    Yes. The portage is still there It's very much a canal nowadays and not very well taken care of unfortunately. The city of portage in general is struggling. It's a shame because the area is gorgeous with plenty of water, rolling hills and a really nice ski resort at Cascade. The major holdback is the Wisconsin DNR's rule that you can't modify waterways from their natural existence. So if a tree falls, It is illegal to remove it. These beautiful waterways are impassable throughout the state.

  • @chickenfishhybrid44
    @chickenfishhybrid44 5 місяців тому +1

    Whats your point though? Theres a long, rich and interesting Native culture and history in the US that should be preserved. The government has done natives wrong obviously. I think theres good arguments to be made about trying to write these wrongs, at least some of the previois treaty type things.
    That said, I am always curious where these arguments and lines of thinking go and where we draw the line?
    Should we just cut to the chase and give back all the land to the Natives?
    Alot of the time these types of statements like "the irony of the white man worrying about treaties being broken" just feel like virtue signals and self flatulations. They rarely actually expect much of anything to be done about it or might even be against some actions to try and make something right but they still have to get the platitudes out.

    • @mikebarker6628
      @mikebarker6628 5 місяців тому

      The problem with righting the wrongs is that I don’t trust anyone to not get greedy in doing so in return. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and at the end of the day, if public access is lost for everyone, and the land is under new management, development could happen, permanently changing the land, making the true losers the wildlife.
      Public land is THE most free aspect to the USA in my opinion. It means everyone can use it, including tribes.
