Are there contradictions in supporting Veganism and Native liberation?

This is a honest question, my reaction to some answers is not based in “non-genuineness” in my question but based in anti-imperialism & native liberation. I am against colonialism & the cultural hegemony which maintains it.
What is the perspective of veganism on traditional food gathering systems practiced by native communities the world over.
In what ways can someone who is sensitive to animal exploitation point out the material differences between the capitalist system of livestock & the traditional system of trapping, netting, spear fishing. (Furthermore have you experienced these differences to put them in material contexts & not ideal contexts.

Training melee

Prisoners come by the dozen if you are careful.
Capturing them & installing peg legs, peg arms makes them only capable of head butting.
Hemogen farming keeps them dazed
Send in the children to knock unconscious the prisoners & they will be experts in hand to hand combat fairly soon.

Some questions

This is a bay of a much larger lake. The mouth from point to the other-side is 700 meters & from the top to the bottom of the middle bay is 1.4km. 700x1400 meters.
The deepest points of this lake go only 60 feet. Is it possible to catch whitefish in this bay based on depth & structures? So far I have only caught jackfish, walleyes, perch, sculpin. I have also found Burbot in the bellies of bigger jackfish (what you call pikes

Good harvest today

I caught the first one 200 m from the spot I caught the rest, I would say all of the bites were within ten meters of each other. I hit a school

Reflections from across the pond

https://mltheory.wordpress.com/2022/05/28/soviet-environmentalism-in-the-stalin-era/
I was raised in an education environment of environmental conservation framed in opposition to timber industries & their extractive nature.
The maintenance of the habitats of woodland species & aquatic species is of great importance not only on a personal scale, but on a collective scale.
Do we want a future where our unquenchable thirst for finance capital; loans which inflate the economy via interest, enterprises which are operated by the whole of the working society in a unmatched development yet the benefits being divided amongst a few (bankers interest, industrial profits, commercial profits) leaving the majority with only enough to get by. Do we want the above to lead to the ruin of every species in the way of these objectives. This isn’t about you or I, it is about us & the future.
My interest in the above article is the planning around zones which are separated into 3 categories based on the effects of watershed which were a concern to combat desertification & droughts. Anywhere within 1 km of any major river logging was restricted to sanitary cutting & for heating homes. The next category allowed some harvesting, the last allowing the most.

Jackfish coming out of spawn

I posted this 3 days ago but I am to controversial to have high enough Karma & the post was removed. I believe I might be there now.

Sitting on the shore you can see a jackfish occasionally swim past, wading into the floodplain you could watch the groups of them writhing in clusters as they spawn. Normally I gut them at the lake, a neighbour wanted to see how to clean them.
