This fall, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe Chairman and CEO W. Ron Allen will be inducted into the National Native American Hall of Fame.
Allen was one of the tribal leaders interviewed for the documentary FISH WAR, which combines interviews and first-person accounts with 1960-1970s footage of tribal fishers being violently arrested by state authorities.
Below is Allen’s extended interview.
To hear more from the tribal leaders, fishers, managers and attorneys featured in FISH WAR, the extended interviews from the film are available on archive.org.
