It's terribly difficult to find a balance. I guess for me the first thing is, lets leave people alone that are leading old school traditional lives. Really, WTF, why mess with them. Whether it's the last remaining wild tribe in the Amazon or dumbass Bundy grazing cows. Where do we get going after those tiny, miniscule minority of people that are strange and different. To me, it's the same thinking as Ishi appears and we decide he needs to wear our clothes and live in a house.
A buddy mine says there is no hope until we have a big die off, just too many rats in the cage right now.
I think there's a difference between living a traditional tribal life, which I have no problem with, and copying a long lost tribal life to try to return to some notion of traditional hunting long after your society has advanced into the modern world.
What metric are you going to put on which peoples get to have tribal life and who at just copying long lost tribal life?
The Makah Tribe, I've been spelling it wrong. Starting whaling again after they stopped in 1913.
It's about 4 generations gap for them. What if the Cheyenne decides to mount up and ride through Yellowstone to drive and jump entire herds of buffalo off cliffs?

I'd say that after a century they are copying a lost tradition but I'm not sure there is a humane way to harpoon whales anyway. I'm pretty sure the US has signed the whaling treaties though so they seem to be breaking the law unless they were given exemption for some reason.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

By that standard some will be happy, some won't. It would mean a bunch of Ivory hunting in Africa, Tortoise shell harvesting in the pacific the use of Punt Guns in North America.

It's always people who do not have to deal with bears.
Fuck the bears. Especially the ones going through the garbage and living off of humans. What do you think the government does to bears that live on garbage?
