Why should the fairy tales of anyone let alone residents of a seperste, sovereign nation influence science based Wildlife Management ?

Agreed. Exactly how people in So Utah feel about tribal push for Bears Ears and consequently management of the land and wildlife.
There are certainly exceptions like the Apache in NE Arizona but up here Wildlife is almost non existent. The Crow and northern Cheyenne have some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen and it's almost entirely void of Wildlife. The Cheyenne are part of the lawsuit to stop grizzly delisting.

Sure but your original comment lumps all NA beliefs into a single "minority religion", which is a little broad.

While I don't think religious/spiritual beliefs should be the driving force behind any science-based wildlife management, discounting the beliefs of the people who have inhabited this continent for thousands of years is a bit arrogant.
Apologies to the OP, I shall exit before this goes down the wrong path.

MTGomer is going to have a tough time taking the influence of fairy tales out of public policy...the bible thumpers will eat his lunch.
CSKT, Blackfeet, Ft Peck & Ft Belknap wildlife programs would disagree with this. Some of these areas hold significant wildlife numbers and others are sought after for Bighorn, etc.
