Answer: Threat
Explanation: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: If you think putting Alaska Natives in charge of ANY natural resource will provide any degree of protection or conservation, you apparently do not read much. Check out the history of the Kilbuck caribou herd. Or, if you really want an education, go to Bethel in May and June when the Kuskokwim delta is filled with ducks and geese tending their nests. You can watch fifteen or twenty boats go out there every morning and spend the day killing ducks and geese even though it is totally illegal and unethical, until their boats are literally full, then coming back to town, taking a dozen or two home for supper, coming back the next day, dumping the other hundred or so dead birds out of the boat and going back out to blast a couple hundred more. Yep, they are definitely "Stewards of the Land" alright. Or go do a census of game within 30 miles of ANY village in NW or SW Alaska. No moose, no caribou. If it moves, kill it. If it flies it dies.
Answer:
Threat
