Introduction: Hunting as Heritage: “Save a Whale, Harpoon a Makah”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 November 2007
Abstract
This set of articles is not intended to deal comprehensively with the totality of the relationship between heritage and hunting. Rather, it is designed to emphasize the connection and bring out aspects such as sustainability, ethics, respect, and civility. The role of hunting as a way of life is emphasized. This creates heritage even if its practitioners do not recognize it as such. The heritage so created can take many forms; but in particular hunting has produced an important intangible heritage expressed through art, music, poetry, and literature to name but a few of its aspects. Finally, the set of papers shows that mandated changes affecting hunting need careful consideration; there is much to be lost if the creating force for this heritage disappears.
