2022 Chis-chu Naa-tr'vlh-xat
(Roosevelt Elk, Cervus canadensis roosevelti Hunt)
HISTORY:
Tolowa Dee-ni' have relied on chis-chu (elk) as a cultural resource since time immemorial. Chis-chu provide us with sustenance and utilitarian materials that are used for our tools and ceremony. In 2013, the Nation began development of a Harvest Title to establish the policy and standards to protect fish, wildlife and plant resources, and further establish procedures for the conservation of such resources. The Harvest Title was drafted and developed by the Natural Resources Department, Culture Department, Office of Self Governance, Tribal Council, Legal Counsel, Natural Resources and Harvesting Committee, Culture Committee and Tribal Citizens. On June 14, 2018 the Nation adopted protocols in the Harvest Title that provide for sound management of fish, wildlife and plants that are based on traditional law passed down orally over countless generations.
In an effort to ensure a healthy and balanced environment that sustains Dee-ni' lifeways and the earth; and to exercise the rights of the Nation's Citizens to harvest wildlife, the Nation organized the first elk hunt pursuant to Title 16: Harvest Title of the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation Tribal Code.
Cadence Travis was drawn for the 2022 Cultural Chis-chu Hunt. On October 1st she successfully shot a bull from the Xaa-wan'-k'wvt Herd.
Troy Padgette was chosen for the 2021 Chis-chu Hunt, which was extended into the 2022 season to take one elk. On October 3rd, Troy shot an elk from the Xaa-wan'-k'wvt Herd.
