Free Lecture -- Fish Wars: Tribal Rights and Resiliency in the Pacific Northwest

Did you ever wonder why Fort Lawton became Daybreak Star? Or why First Peoples commercial fish boats set their nets in Lake Union and Lake Washington? Come to Folio (Pike Place Market) on Sunday July 27th for a free presentation on the history of the Puget Sound Fish Wars. YOU MUST REGISTER AT THE LINK BELOW in order to attend. And the THE SOONER THE BETTER, as seats will go fast.

Bonus: One of the leaders of the Fish War was Bernie White Bear. It turns out that his younger brother, Harry Wong, is also a member of our Meetup group. Hopefully Harry can give us a few personal reflections about his brother.

Second Bonus: While at the Market, some of us might sign up for one of the Market guided tours. Lots of Seattle history there.

See you then!

ABOUT THE SEATTLE HISTORY FIELD TRIPS MEETUP

We are amateur historians with an interest in Seattle. Newbies to Seattle are most welcome. Once a quarter, or so, this group organizes a field trip to visit sites which are significant in Seattle's history, and to share what we know about them. In the past we have visited the gravesites of important personages and the locations of famous events. This Meetup is for anyone who has an interest in Seattle's history or who would like to learn more about the founding and growth of Seattle and the surrounding cities, towns, native peoples, highways, dams, natural resources, industries, famous events & dignitaries, famous visitors, etc.

Small gratuities always appreciated to help defray the cost of being on the Meetup platform. Venmo @Patrick-Dolan-86676
