Awesome video! i didnt even know about this and when i looked into it it turns out my dad was actually one of the attorneys that helped with this case and there is even a picture of him in this video. that was so cool thankyou for this!
There was zero racism attached to this. The problem we had was one group of people can do this while the rest would be jailed for it. It made no sense then and it makes no sense now. This devastation to the fish is why even today mille lacs lake just last year actually let you keep a fish you caught.
I think the guys with signs saying "Save a Walleye, Spear an Indian", advertising an "Indian Shoot" in local establishments, and literally lynching Natives in effigy have a better idea on if this was about racism than you do.
It's a traditional subsistence strategy and so what if natives are allowed to do this? Natives went almost a whole century not being able to practice their language or religions cause of colonialism. Boo-whoo! Grow up and quit feeling sorry for yourself. Understand the historical context before you try saying something is unfair.
@@timothybarber9895 True natives understand that you only take what you need. You do NOT decimate the whole population of fish in a lake. Subsistence is one thing, raping the lake is another. Show me you are better than the colonists.
The past is always relevant,racism is alive and well in the north woods. My neighbor his cousin two children were shot at on gunlock lake 4 yrs ago it should have been national news but it wasn’t.
What are you talking about? That fight has been ongoing and has a lot of success. The reason this gets attention is cause the government actually has to acknowledge our rights as legal law. Everything you mentioned is human rights to equal opportunities which has always been a battle that isn't talked about. You entire comment just showcases your ignorance and bigotry towards natives.
They are spearing to provide food for their families, not only just their families but for their aunties, uncles, grandparents, and any community member who may not be able to spear due to illness or injury. The lac du flambeau tribe also has a fish hatchery that they grow walleye fry to release into local off the reservation lakes. I was able to work with the DNR internship program, I got to help take care of some of the fry. I’m not writing this to make anyone angry, just trying to give some helpful information.

Great video!
Awesome video 👍
Of all the rights to fight for, these brave warriors fought _to spear walleye._ Not health care, childhood poverty, or education. 😮😂

Certainly doesn't look very sporting to drive a spear into a fish while it's spawning.
That's because they aren't doing it for sport
@@davidhall2783I guess not.
maybe you need to do more research before assuming
What kind of research? Please be specific.

When they tell us to go home, dont they realize this was our home, until they stole it from us...
Who had it before you guys? There is always somebody before the latest people
Awesome video. Still hear racist remarks around northern Wisconsin about natives spearing and it sucks to hear.
Much respect for the Maulson family and what they stand for.
