The Fish Wars

Video covering the (very recent) colonization and enclosure of the waterways of the PNW, specifically Washington. The Indigenous struggle over fishing rights and environmentalism culminated into "The Fish Wars" of the 60s-70s. It also covers the settler State governments seeking to redefine indigenous such that none to very few indigenous people were "actually indigenous" and therefore unprotected by treaties. This comes after decades of boarding schools and institutions like the Child Protective Services and fostering (modern boarding schools) seeking to force assimilate the indigenous population.
