Fish War
2025-11-13 18:00 - 20:00
The 2025-26 Film and Speaker Series presents: Fish War
The Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center is honored to host a screening of the award-winning documentary Fish Waron Thursday, Nov. 13, at 6 PM.
Film Description:
When the state of Washington made it illegal for tribes to fish for salmon in their usual and accustomed places, it was a declaration of war. FISH WAR follows the tribes’ fight to exercise their treaty-reserved fishing rights. A landmark court case in 1974 would affirm the tribes’ treaty rights and establish them as co-managers of the resource, but the fate of salmon in the Pacific Northwest still hangs in the balance.
Following the screening, the Indigenous Roots and Reparation Foundation (IRRF) will host a Q&A panel discussing the impacts of this film.
Admission is free for both WVMCC and tribal members and $5 for non-members. Registration is recommended.
For More information Click Here
REGISTER HERE
Funds from this event support the Museum’s mission-serving programs, including featured exhibits, MakerSpace, robotics clubs, field trips, student scholarships, community cultural events, film and speaker series, and collection restorations.
Fish War was produced by Wenatchee-based documentary film company, North 40 Productions. The 2025-26 Film & Speaker Series is supported by the City of Wenatchee and the City of East Wenatchee.

With aerial and underwater photography from Cashmere’s Steven Gnam (National Geographic, Crown of the Continent), and contributions from the Lake Chelan Research Institute’s Anna Galipeau and Phil Long, this presentation is sure to provide new perspectives on the ever-changing ecological treasure that is Lake Chelan.
About the presenter: Nate Hough-Snee is a Leavenworth, Washington-based wetland, aquatic, and riparian ecologist who researches and restores ecosystems across the Pacific Northwest. Trained as a researcher, and with a Ph.D. in Ecology from Utah State University’s Watershed Sciences Department, Nate is an environmental storyteller at heart. Nate currently spins environmental narratives of the Wenatchee and Entiat watersheds, Lake Chelan, and Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, working with the Lake Chelan Research Institute as a senior scientist and as a consultant through his firm, Meadow Run Environmental. Recently Nate has increasingly focused his attention on understanding how Lake Chelan is changing from periphyton, invasive species, and how threats to the watershed might change the Lake. Most of Nate’s ecosystem stories from Lake Chelan are told about water, plants, and people and with enough humor to have a good time.
