The Walleye War
1989
Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin

When federal courts affirmed in 1983 that treaty rights let the Ojibwe spearfish walleye off-reservation, northern Wisconsin boat landings filled with protesters throwing rocks, gunning motors around spearers' boats and chanting slurs, on and off for years and worst in 1989. The bands kept fishing, tribal wardens and federal courts held, and the harassment collapsed in the early nineties. The fish populations the protesters claimed to defend were never in danger from spears.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
