About the Book
"Many Native American nations rely on their hunting and fishing rights. But the United States government have not always upheld these rights. Readers discover how Native nations are defending their rights"--Book Synopsis
Indigenous Nations historically provided for their families and their communities by hunting, fishing, farming, and gathering. In the 19th century, the US government often forced Native Americans to sign treaties that ceded lands while protecting Indigenous rights to hunt and fish on those lands. But the United States government has not always upheld these treaties. Find out how Native nations continue to defend and exercise their rights today.
