Fish War
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. A landmark court case in 1974 would affirm the tribes’ treaty right to fish and establish them as managers of the resource, but the fate of salmon in the Pacific Northwest still hangs in the balance.
