In 1974 Federal Judge George H. Boldt issued one of the most sweeping rulings in the history of the Pacific Northwest, affirming the treaty rights of Northwest tribal fishermen and allocating to them 50 percent of the harvestable catch of salmon and steelhead. Among the Indians testifying in Judge Boldts courtroom were Nisqually tribal leader Billy Frank, Jr., and his 95-year-old father, whose six acres along the Nisqually River, known as Franks Landing, had been targeted for years by state game wardens in the so-called Fish Wars.By the 1960s the Landing had become a focal point for the assertion of tribal treaty rights in the Northwest. It also lay at the moral center of the tribal sovereignty movement nationally. The confrontations at the Landing hit the news and caught the conscience of many. Like the schoolhouse steps at Little Rock, or the bridge at Selma, Franks Landing came to signify a threshold for change, and Billy Frank, Jr., became a leading architect of consensus, a role he continues today as one of the most colorful and accomplished figures in the modern history of the Pacific Northwest.In Messages from Franks Landing, Charles Wilkinson explores the broad historical, legal, and social context of Indian fishing rights in the Pacific Northwest, providing a dramatic account of the people and issues involved. He draws on his own decades of experience as a lawyer working with Indian people, and focuses throughout on Billy Frank and the river flowing past Franks Landing. In all aspects of Franks life as an activist, from legal settlements negotiated over salmon habitats destroyed by hydroelectric plants, to successful negotiations with the U.S. Army for environmental protection of tribal lands, Wilkinson points up the significance of the traditional Indian world view - the powerful and direct legacy of Franks father, conveyed through generations of Indian people who have crafted a practical working philosophy and a way of life. Drawing on many hours spent talking and laughing with Billy Frank while canoeing the Nisqually watershed, Wilkinson conveys words of respect and responsibility for the earth we inhabit and for the diverse communities the world encompasses. These are the messages from Franks Landing. Wilkinson brings welcome clarity to complex legal issues, deepening our insight into a turbulent period in the political and environmental history of the Northwest. worldcatorg/search We would like to show you a description here but the site wont allow us META-INF/MANIFESTMFname/audet/samuel/shorttyping META-INF/MANIFESTMFname/audet/samuel/shorttyping/ShortDictManager$BufferedStreamclassname/audet/samuel/shorttyping/ShortDictManagerclassname/audet/samuel Ideadiezcom is and in to a was not you i of it the be he his but for are this that by on at they with which she or from had we will have an what been one if would who has her the of and to a in that is was he for it with as his on be Most Common Text: Click on the icon to return to berrocom and to enjoy and benefit the of and to a in that is was he for it with as his on be at by i this had Brown Corpus list (Excel) - Compleat Lexical Tutor brown_freq worrisome worry worry-worryin worrying worse worsened worsens worship worshiped worshipful worshiping worshipped worshippers worshipping worst worst-marked Lootcoza: Sitemap 9781434468147 1434468143 Scaramouche Rafael Sabatini 9783540057895 3540057897 Structures de Fredholm Sur Les Varietes Hilbertiennes N Moulis Nicole Moulis Lootcoza: Sitemap 9780937808832 0937808830 Journey to the Copper Age - Archaeology in the Holy Land Thomas Evan Levy 9780757504761 0757504760 Laboratory Manual for Biology 156: Human
