In the July 2023 Bill, the Ministry of the Environment implemented a law that would ban the hunting of cetaceans in Kuduk. With the full support of the [[National Progress Party (Kuduk)|NPP]] and some support from members of the [[Labor Party (Kuduk)|Labor Party]], the bill passed the legislature into law.

Immediately, there was a legal challenge from the Akta Tribe that claimed that the Ministry of the Environment was overstepping its boundaries as a Ministry. In the ensuing case ''Akta Tribe v. Ministry of the Environment'' in the Akta Tribal Court, the Akta Tribe won the case and nullified the new law from taking affect within the Akta tribe. The Ministry of the Environment appealed the case to the Tribal Council on the grounds that the Akta Tribal Court was biased towards itself. The Tribal Council agreed to the appeal and raised the case for hearing. In response, the Ministry of the Environment offered to represent the Akta tribe in the case, to which the Akta agreed.

On the 1st of September, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of the Environment met in court, with the Ministry of Culture representing the greater northern region as a whole and the Ministry of the Environment representing itself.
