On this 40th anniversary year of the Boldt Decision, Stream Team Salmon Stewards program is pleased to offer an evening presentation on the background of the treaties between Northwest Tribes and the United States. The speakers will discuss how the courts have interpreted the treaty language that secures to the Tribes the right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed grounds and stations “in common with” citizens of the territory. And describe how Washington State and the Treaty Tribes went from being adversaries to co-managers, and how the fishery managers work together today.

Speakers include: Fronda Woods, Assistant Attorney General, Washington Attorney General’s Office; Jeff Dickison, Squaxin Island Tribe; Kyle Adicks, Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife; and Emmett O’Connell, Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.
