Film & Lecture Series: Fish War
2025-11-13 18:00 - 20:00 | Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, 127 South Mission Street, Wenatchee, WA, United States
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 War on 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.

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.
