The USA is still a whaling nation, as bowhead, beluga and gray whales are hunted by the Alaskan Eskimos. They take about 50 bowhead whales annually. The Alaskans also catch a few hundred beluga, 238 in 2000.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that a couple of minke are also occasionally caught. In 1997, the Makah People in Washington State got the green light from the IWC to resume the hunt for gray whales after a 70 years hiatus. But since then, the Makah have been caught up in US court most of the time, effectively putting a halt to their whaling aspirations. Only one whale was taken in 1999. The Makah has a Treaty with the U.S. Government guaranteeing their whaling rights.
