Fish War: Film Screening with Guest Speaker Ramona Bennett Bill

Join us for a screening of Fish War, a documentary that shares the story of the decades-long fight for Indigenous fishing rights in the Pacific Northwest. The screening will end with a Q&A discussion with Ramona Bennett Bill, a longtime Native rights activist whose work includes organizing with the Puyallup Tribe, fighting for fishing rights, reclaiming Ft. Lawton, and advocating for the Indian Child Welfare Act. She is also the author of Fighting for the Puyallup Tribe: A Memoir, which will be available for purchase at the event.

This event is free and open to the public. Light appetizers and refreshments will be provided.

We encourage early registration as space and tickets are limited.
