Your use of quotation marks around the words cultural tradition says it all. It’s some dismissive and passive aggressive white guy thing to do that disregards others cultural practices. It’s like using finger quotes sarcastically to dismiss someone or something. It’s petty, and little. One thing you will learn about indigenous people if you ever spent the time, would be that indigenous cultures are highly adaptive, we wouldn’t survive if we weren’t. Unlike many of you European cultures that are static and unchanging for a thousand years.

If that's how it came across, dismissive of the peoples themselves, as opposed to calling something depending upon an animal introduced only 400 years ago not culturally traditional, then I am in the wrong for using those quotes, and I accept that I have offended those who saw it as dismissive of them. And I apologise for that
