“Ancestral Waters,” tells the story of the Puyallup Tribe, who signed the Treaty of Medicine Creek in 1854. In exchange for ceding vast areas of land to the U.S. government, the Puyallup were given a small reservation and several other benefits, one of which was the right to fish in their usual and accustomed waters. This treaty-protected right to fish is being threatened by a liquefied natural gas plant, being built by Puget Sound Energy without permits on the Tacoma Tideflats, across the water from Vashon.
