Heritage of the Sea (Makah Indian Treaty Rights) Part 1
- 1979 ----- color ----- 29 min ----- 16mm
- In the viewpoint of Makah Indians, fishing is an ancient and fundamental way of life guaranteed them in perpetuity by their 1855 treaty agreement with the United States Government. "Ours wasn't an unconditioned surrender," they say. Yet the current controversy over apportionment of Washington salmon at times seems to the Indians an effort to take away their birthright. Part One gives background information by Makahs including their reminiscences about the past and comments on the future of their tribal salmon management programs. (Release of University of Washington Press)
