I do not say this to be quarrelsome and I know that it may provoke
some resentment in people who do not enjoy this tiny privilege but
many First Nations people have a treaty right to hunt and fish without
permits or restriction as to season.

I'm familiar with "Indian" hunting rights, but I've never seen a
reservation that did not have a grocery with a meat department, or
empty of Indians.

That's limited anecdotal evidence, but I think we can safely assume
Indians are more like you and me than unlike you and me.

Of course there are NA Eskimos that do harvest all or most of their
warm-blooded meat, but I do not think they can be accurately described
as relatively "significant".

The people he gifted with that meat or fish did not find the
taste at all objectionable.

Specifically, the subject was "meat", and not the flavor sensations of
the perennially hungry.

I've been so hungry a cold C-Ration can of ham and eggs (that smelled
exactly like canned dog food) or a half-cooked crunchy spaghetti LRP
tasted better than anything I could remember.
