Fish War
When the state of Washington started arresting Indigenous tribal fishers, it was a declaration of war. Scores of legal battles culminated in a landmark Supreme Court case that was meant to put an end to the violent Fish Wars. Fifty years later, the fight for salmon continues. Join us for a post-film meet and greet opportunity after the 7PM screening. Subject and Puyallup Tribal activist, Ramona Bennett, will be present to sign copies of her new book, Fighting for the Puyallup Tribe. Copies will be available for purchase. Traditional medicine from Rose Island Farms and desserts from Hawakstup will be provided. The Tahoma Indian Center has a limited number of complimentary tickets available for community members for the 7PM showtime. Please email admin@tahomaindiancenter.org if you would like a ticket. Tickets will need to be picked up at the Tahoma Indian Center prior to January 6th. The Tahoma Indian Center is open Monday–Friday, 9am–1pm and is located at 621 Tacoma Avenue S, Suite 505. Presented with Tahoma Indian Center as a part of Sovereign Cinema—a film series centering Indigenous stories of reclamation, resistance, and resilience.DocumentaryPT1H20M2026-01-06Skylar Wagner
