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.

Well, I did it. I didn't drink proper booze in February. I did have a shitload of NA beer and am sitting behind a sea of empties. I intentionally didn't set my sights any higher -- if the name of the game was abstaining from booze and weed, exercising and reading, I would have dropped the whole program a week in. Just cutting out the sauce while keeping all the other bad habits in place made it doable. After midnight last night, I went to the new Mexican place where the kitchen is open until 1 and ordered a valiente, then noticed that their late night menu doesn't include tacos and settled for empanadas. Then I went to my usual bar and had an IPA, which was so much tastier than NA IPAs. Actual semi-social drinking resumes tonight with the zoom happy hour my friends have kept going since early pandemic.
Good job. Impulse control is good stuff.
