SUMMARY:Fish War
DESCRIPTION:This documentary highlights the violent struggle faced by Indig
 enous nations to exercise their treaty-protected right to harvest salmon i
 n the Pacific Northwest.\n\n“My father\, 60 years ago\, was still gettin
 g his head bashed in on the riverbanks\,” says Nisqually Chairman Willie
  Frank III\, son of treaty rights activist Billy Frank Jr. “He was getti
 ng his head bashed in—in Olympia\, right on the rocks where our state Ca
 pitol is\, during a fishing protest to demonstrate what goes on along the 
 river.\n\n“Because the state of Washington—they didn’t want to tell 
 people the truth.”\n\nThe protests led to a federal court case\, U.S. v.
  Washington\, that changed the way the state and treaty tribes care for th
 e environment. Judge George Boldt’s decision in this case went all the w
 ay to the Supreme Court.\n\nIt should have put an end to the Fish War.\n\n
 Fifty years later\, however\, tribal treaty rights are threatened by adver
 saries including habitat destruction and climate change\, which threaten t
 o destroy salmon runs forever.\n\n“The Fish War isn’t over\,” Frank 
 says. “Instead of fighting over fish\, we are fighting for the fish—to
  keep them on this planet.”
