The uninhabited volcanic islands were discovered in 1786 by Gerassim Pribylov, who brought Aleutian Island natives to harvest seal pelts. © Islands with fur seal rookeries “rt Migration routes visit St. Paul each summer, There’s alimit to how many the island can handle.” The “humaniacs,” as some Aleuts call the preserve tionists, concede that seals die most quickly and with the least trauma when killed b.- stunning and sticking. But they object t. the harvest on grounds of unnec- essary «illing and the high cost to the government of the Pribilof program. The federal covernment spends 3.3 million dol- lars a» ar—75 percent of Pribilof income. Walt: - Kirkness. director of the Pribilof Islands Program for the National Marine Fisheri. - Service. sffers a rebuttal. “If we halt se: .ng, it wo::ld lead to abrogation of thetre: ©: st. we could easily see the return. fj : Slaughter of seals at sea withou anv i tional controls at all.

So did a Russian disregard for native lives. Under U. S. administration, a repressive bureaucracy brought little progress until, in 1971, the federal government settled aborig- inal claims for land and compensation and gave Alaska’s Aleuts, Eskimos, and Indians a means to control their lot. The settlement established profit-making corporations for each native village and region, with every villager a shareholder. For St. Paul’s Tan- adgusix, the chief profit makers are hotels and a restaurant, Islanders won a reprieve for sealing when Congress extended the fur seal treaty through 1984. They were helped by the Sier- ra Club and National Audubon Society, which supported the treaty and looked upon itas a hallmark of wildlife conservation and management. But anew threat to the islanders’ econom- ic well-being has suddenly loomed. “Tt’s called Reaganomics,” said Agafon 339 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-( 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001200020006-1 CPYRGHT
