Film viewing: When the state of Washington started arresting Indigenous tribal fishers, it was a declaration of war. Scores of legal battles culminated in a landmark Supreme Court case that was meant to put an end to the violent Fish Wars. Fifty years later, the fight for salmon continues. The film will start at 6:00pm. After a 79 minute run time, there will be time for discussion and questions. Produced by North Forty Productions and Northwest Treaty Tribes Media. Have 5 minutes before this Red Barn Event? Watch the companion video, Salmon Warriors, to learn how to take action now to protect salmon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wA7AYuHSEU
