Cw: fish
On the 2nd of march 1964, a group of indigenous rights activists, among them actor Marlon Brando and Puyallup tribal leader Bob Satiacum, illegally fished in the Puyallup River to protest the denial of treaty rights to Native Americans. This form of civil disobedience is known as a "fish-in", and in this specific incident both Brando and an Episcopal clergyman were arrested.
The fish-in was staged by the National Indian Youth Council, a Native American civil rights organization formed in Gallup, New Mexico in 1961. It became part of the so-called "Fish Wars", a set of protests spanning decades in which Native American tribes around the Puget Sound pressured the U.S. government to recognize fishing rights granted by the Point No Point Treaty.
The protests eventually won indigenous people in the area the right to fish without state permits - in the 1974 case "United States v. Washington", U.S. District Court Judge George Hugo Boldt stated that treaty right fishermen must be allowed to take up to 50% of all potential fishing harvests and required that they have an equal voice in the management of the fishery.
The so-called "Boldt Decision" was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 1979 and has been used as a precedent for handling other, similar treaties.

vvardenfell/morrowind is such an interesting setting. it's a shame it was invented by bethesda who have decided to never do anything interesting ever again. a high production value show or movie set there could be really incredible, would probably be a lot better than the fallout slop they're cooking. makes me mad to think about it
yeah. I really want more Morrowind, but I absolutely do not give a fuck about Oblivion or Skyrim, and have no faith that TES6 will be anything other than further enshittification of the TES IP.
I don't think we'll ever get anything like Morrowind out of an AAA capitalist studio again. It will be up to indies to make something like a spiritual successor.
have you played the tamriel rebulit mod for morrowind? i've heard good things but haven't tried it myself yet
Its been a couple years but last I played it it was pretty amazing. The telvanni isles are fantastic.
it's so cool that they are still working on it too. they released an update in october and are now teasing another huge update. i really ought to play it
