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.

Card counted for eight hours yesterday. Made back all my losses from a few days ago plus $100 more. I'm still in the negative overall but I feel like I'm at the point where I'm not making mistakes anymore, and I'm fully comfortable doing all of the things I need to do to generate EV.
One thing about this none of the videos I watched prepared me for was how long I would spend not playing blackjack. I guess some people will just keep playing their minimum bet even through negative shoes but I don't have the money to spend doing that, so whenever I see a negative shoe I just come up with a woo woo superstitious reason not to play ("the vibes are off right now" or "this dealer is just too lucky") and sit/stand watching the count, sometimes for an hour or more before it goes positive again and I join back in.
I think the pit bosses at my casino are starting to suspect something. I hope I'm just being paranoid because this place is right around the corner from my house and I don't want to get banned, but either way I'm still negative to them so I intend to stick to this casino at least until I break even (at which point I'll play somewhere else for a while and hope they forget about me) or they tell me to leave.
