‘Fish War’ documentary to be shown at river center

SEQUIM — There will be a screening of the film “Fish War” at 6 p.m. Thursday.

The film will be shown in Rainshadow Hall at the Dungeness River Nature Center, 1943 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim.

Josh Chapman, chair of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s Natural Resources Committee, will introduce the film and lead a question-and-answer session with the audience after the film.

The 2024 documentary, produced by Northwest Treaty Tribes Media and North Forty Productions, explores the fight for tribal fishing rights in Western Washington that culminated in the 1974 Boldt decision.

The film features archival footage from the 1970s and also addresses the challenges of present and future threats from habitat destruction and climate change.
