Cw: fish

On the 2nd of march 1964, a group of indigenous rights activists, among them actor Marlon Brando and Puyallup tribal leader Bob Satiacum, illegally fished in the Puyallup River to protest the denial of treaty rights to Native Americans. This form of civil disobedience is known as a "fish-in", and in this specific incident both Brando and an Episcopal clergyman were arrested.

The fish-in was staged by the National Indian Youth Council, a Native American civil rights organization formed in Gallup, New Mexico in 1961. It became part of the so-called "Fish Wars", a set of protests spanning decades in which Native American tribes around the Puget Sound pressured the U.S. government to recognize fishing rights granted by the Point No Point Treaty.

The protests eventually won indigenous people in the area the right to fish without state permits - in the 1974 case "United States v. Washington", U.S. District Court Judge George Hugo Boldt stated that treaty right fishermen must be allowed to take up to 50% of all potential fishing harvests and required that they have an equal voice in the management of the fishery.

The so-called "Boldt Decision" was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in 1979 and has been used as a precedent for handling other, similar treaties.

How am I supposed to get a job when no one wants unqualified people? My resume is dogshit and I have a useless degree and I'm too poor to get a master's and I am too "unqualified" to get a non part-time minimum wage job. Every employer just assumes everyone young has master's in a STEM field and years of experience right out the gate. I can't even get a damn interview.

I fucking hate it here. Why isn't there a job guarantee?

Can back dying of boredom, dishwasher is an easy in, it's also physically engaging and you do meet people, a really interesting cross section of people as well. Working in a kitchen also means you can learn a LOT about food and I gurarantee you'll learn a lot of skills you can use at home. It is a pretty tough gig, especially at the start when you don't know what you're doing but I can aboslutely give some major tips that will make it easy as hell, I'm a kickass cook, but I am a meditating under a waterfall level MASTER of the dish pit, I did a three course meal for 900 people in 2 hours. It's all about organization, prioritization and mind over matter. If you work smart it can be a cinch, if you work hard it's a grind.

if you apply to be a dishwasher you'll be hired that day, probably
