His son, Micah McCarty, was also filmed arguing that the sea and the whales belong to the Makah and nobody has any right to tell them what to do with their property. There was some coverage of an anti-whaling group, with the newspeople trying to get the leader of that group to say he was going to get himself into a naval confrontation with the Coast Guard and the Feds. He was smarter than that. Overall, I thought it was the usual shallow, inadequate coverage. You didn't miss much beyond some nice video shots of the Makah's big dugout canoe.
