the writing itself is a bit dry, but this is a fascinating, thought-provoking account of Ojibwe treaty rights in northern Wisconsin that provides an interesting case study for anyone interested in Native American subsistence harvest & the way it's changed over time. beyond that, it's an absolutely essential read for anyone in a fisheries undergrad program--write an essay on it, do a presentation on it, randomly bring up how This Situation Totally Reminds [You] of the Ojibwe Spearfishing Conflict in Northern Wisconsin during class discussions &c&c&c. professors love stuff like that
