Answer:

The Makah tribe wants to address the lack of discipline and low cultural pride among Makah youth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the sentence that does not describe a reason the Makah are seeking approval to resume hunting for gray whale. The Makah argue that hunting for gray whale should be allowed in their community because it is a sacred and deeply spiritual ritual that holds a very special place in their community. Moreover, they argue that this will allow the Makah to return to a more traditional diet, and would bring economic benefits from selling this meat to Japan.
