The Walleye War: The Struggle for Ojibwe Spearfishing and Treaty RightsFor generations, the Ojibwe bands of northern Wisconsin have spearfished spawning walleyed pike in the springtime. The bands reserved hunting, fishing, and gathering rights on the lands that would become the northern third of Wisconsin in treaties signed with the federal government in 1837, 1842, and 1854. Those rights, however, would be ignored by the state of Wisconsin for more than a century. When a federal appeals court in 1983 upheld the bands'

For generations, the Ojibwe bands of northern Wisconsin have spearfished spawning walleyed pike in the springtime. The bands reserved hunting, fishing, and gathering rights on the lands that would become the northern third of Wisconsin in treaties signed with the federal government in 1837, 1842, and 1854. Those rights, however, would be ignored by the state of Wisconsin for more than a century. When a federal appeals court in 1983 upheld the bands' off-reservation rights, a deep and far-reaching conflict erupted between the Ojibwe bands and some of their non-Native neighbors.

Starting in the mid-1980s, protesters and supporters flocked to the boat landings of lakes being spearfished; Ojibwe spearfisher-men were threatened, stoned, and shot at. Peace and protest rallies, marches, and ceremonies galvanized and rocked the local communities and reservations, and individuals and organizations from across the country poured into northern Wisconsin to take sides in the spearfishing dispute.

From the front lines on lakes to tense, behind-the-scenes maneuvering on and off reservations, The Walleye War tells the riveting story of the spearfishing conflict, drawing on the experiences and perspectives of the members of the Lac du Flambeau reservation and an anthropologist who accompanied them on spearfishing expeditions. We learn of the historical roots and cultural significance of spearfishing and off-reservation treaty rights and we see why many modern Ojibwes and non-Natives view them in profoundly different ways. We also come to understand why the Flambeau tribal council and some tribal members disagreed with the spearfishermen and pursued a policy of negotiation with the state to lease the off-reservation treaty rights for fifty million dollars. Fought with rocks and metaphors, The Walleye War is the story of a Native people's struggle for dignity, identity, and self-preservation in the modern world.

Makes my hair so soft and healthy! BUT
Color: Biotin
I bought this obviously as a heat protectant for my hair. Most heat protectanta leave my hair with texture, like an almost sticky straw like feel to my hair. I thought that was normal. This one though leaves my hair silky, soft, smooth. It literally is so soft to run my fingers theough and takes down my flyaways/breakage from damaged hair. It has increased the quality of my hair so much it feels young and healthy again. HOWEVER, as much as I love this product , because of how soft it leaves my hair, my hair doesn't hold a curl when I use this. I wear beach waves most daysr and once I've used this my hair doesn't want to curl AT ALL. it feels equivalent to curling my hair in humidity. By the time I get to the second side, the first side has fallen out. It took me a while to realize it was how soft this product was leaving my hair that was the culprit. I've decided I don't care and am just figuring slightly different ways of styling my hair with less curl than I'm used to because I'm going to keep using this product for everything it does for me. OH! Also I bought a bottle and after like a hundred pumps nothing ever came out so I exchanged for a new one and the second did the same thing, I figured they couldn't both be broken so I just kept pumping and pumping and pumping (literally way too many times) and it finally started spraying and has been working perfectly fine. So just keep pricing that pump for what feels like forever and it'll start working for you! I highly recommend this product

Protects from heat and damage
Color: Biotin, Color: Biotin
This spray claims to protect hair from heat damage and strengthen it with biotin. I've noticed a significant reduction in frizz when using heat styling tools, and my hair feels stronger and looks healthier overall. The spray has a lightweight texture that doesn't weigh down my hair or make it greasy. It distributes evenly through damp or dry hair, making it convenient to use before styling. The scent is subtle and pleasant, not overpowering. It provides a decent level of heat protection. The spray bottle is practical and easy to use, though a lock mechanism for travel would be helpful to prevent accidental spills. I would recommend the Biotin Hair Protection Spray to anyone looking to protect their hair from heat damage and strengthen it over time.
