About this event
Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, Salmon Defense, and the Olympia Film Society present: Fish War
Olympia Film Society, 206 5th Avenue SE
Olympia, WA 98501
When the state of Washington made it illegal for tribes to fish for salmon in their usual and accustomed places, it was a declaration of war. FISH WAR follows the tribes’ fight to exercise their treaty-reserved fishing rights. A landmark court case in 1974 would affirm the tribes’ treaty rights and establish them as co-managers of the resource, but the fate of salmon in the Pacific Northwest still hangs in the balance.
Post-film Q&A w/ Willie Frank III, Nisqually; Kadi Bizyayeva, Stillaguamish; Lisa Wilson, Lummi; and WDFW Director Kelly Susewind
