<DIV>Good post....what sort of significant ethical issues have these postings brought up?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, although I have the greatest respect for aboriginal peoples and the culture of Native Americans, in Appalachia, we have an entire segment of rural society that seems to feel they have some "aboriginal" rights to go onto private property and pilfer medicinal plants. </DIV>
<DIV>These are not necessarily people that have lived on the same land for hundreds or thousands of years and they are increasingly bastardizing legitimate aboriginal claims for access or use.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How would you suggest that we separate or determine what is a legitimate "aboriginal" right of access or wild harvesting from those of the interlopers? </DIV>
