Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The United States, on behalf of numerous Native American tribes, brought action against the State of Washington, alleging that the State violated the fishing clause of the Stevens Treaties by building and maintaining barrier culverts that prevented salmon movement along rivers. This poster will show the effect of the 'right to fish' on tribal water rights and the lasting effects of these factors on forestry practices, especially road building.
