Semu and Mad Bear in courthouse, Olympia, November 28, 1966
Order an ImageRichard Claxton "Dick" Gregory (1932-2017) was an American comedian and civil rights activist who helped call attention to Washington State laws restricting Native American rights. The "fish wars" as they were known at the time, led to the Boldt Decision, a federal ruling guaranteeing Washington tribes half the state's salmon and steelhead trout catch.
In this image Mad Bear, right, an Iroquois from New York, confers with Semu, a Chumas medicine man from San Diego, in a Thurston County Courthouse hallway during Dick Gregory's trial for illegal fishing after he took part in demonstrations staged on the Nisqually River in February 1966.
