This episode explores the legacy of Judge George H. Boldt and the lasting impact of the 1974 Boldt Decision, which reaffirmed tribal fishing rights in Washington. Featuring a recording from Boldt’s daughter and grandson, the episode highlights the judge’s integrity, precision, and quiet courage, not just in issuing a landmark ruling, but in standing firm amid years of resistance from state and local officials. Being a patriot, Boldt believed, meant upholding treaty rights and justice, even when doing so was unpopular or difficult.
