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.

Premium Quality Cabin Air Filter Replacement
Size: Accord 2018-22 1.5L Gas, Size: Accord 2018-22 1.5L Gas
I like that the cabin air filter has charcoal in it to which help absorb oder which adds functionality. The feel of this filter feels like a fabric is used which adds quality to it over the thin water ones out there in the market. The install was easy and fit right inside the filter location with ease. Even though this filter is a higher quality filter of OEM, it does not restrict any airflow whatsoever.

The Best Filter Jerry, The Best!
Size: 2" x 10" x 11"
I installed once and it seems to work like a charm. I probably need to go rinse it off since it's been months--but I no longer have Honda telling me I need to replace an air filter when I go get an oil change. They tried but I knew it wasn't mine. LOL. Easy to install, and extremely good quality. No gaps in filter area either.

Perfect fit for my fit
Size: 2" x 10" x 11"
Bought this for my Honda fit sport. Perfect fit for my fit. We shall see how it works out in the long run. I'm guessing every six months I'll wash it out, give it a light piling with the refresher kit I bought. The car doesn't get driven a lot during the year, so, doing it this way should be more than fine.

Premium, Reusable Cabin Filter – Worth It Long-Term
Size: 2" x 10" x 11"
I've been using the K&N Lifetime Washable Cabin Air Filter in my vehicle for several months, and here's my experience: Pros: Washable & Reusable: Eliminates the need for frequent replacements, saving money over time. Improved Airflow: Noticed a slight increase in airflow through the vents, enhancing cabin comfort. Odor Control: Effectively reduces musty smells, providing a fresher cabin environment. Cons: Initial Cost: Priced higher than disposable filters, but the long-term savings offset this. Cleaning Required: Needs periodic cleaning to maintain performance, which might be inconvenient for some users.
