After decades of resistance, Ojibwe people in Northern Wisconsin successfully litigated their treaty rights in federal court in the late twentieth century. With the exercise of these rights came a social and political conflict with the state and local non-Indian citizens. This presentation reviews that history and the outcomes of this struggle.
About the Presenter
Larry Nesper is a professor emeritus in the department of Anthropology and American Indian Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His first book, The Walleye War: The Struggle for Ojibwe Spearfishing and Treaty Rights exemplifies his interest in the cultural and historical dimensions of contemporary American Indian political and economic projects in the Great Lakes region.
