Book synopsis

Billy Frank Jr. was an early participant in the fight for tribal fishing rights during the 1960s. Roughed up, belittled, and arrested many times at Frank's Landing on the Nisqually River, he emerged as one of the most influential Northwest Indians in modern history. His efforts helped lead to U.S. v. Washington in 1974, in which U.S. District Judge George H. Boldt affirmed Northwest tribal fishing rights and allocated half the harvestable catch to the tribes. Trova Heffernan is director of the Legacy Project and the creative director of the Heritage Center in the Washington State Office of the Secretary of State.
