Fish War on Orcas Island
Join us for a screening of the documentary film FISH WAR follows the tribes’ fight to exercise their treaty-reserved fishing rights in Washington State. 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. Join us for a free screening of the film followed by a discussion.
The post-show talk will be facilitated by Raven Borsey of Lummi Nation and other speakers include Jay Julius, Andrew Gobin, and Althea Wilson.
