The Wisconsin state government, in the course of creating their own laws over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries while largely ignorant of federal treaties, imposed regulations on tribal members, often issuing them citations, confiscating equipment or even taking them to court if they hunted or fished without state licenses.

“In the 20s and 30s, this is a real hardship, because the Ojibwe are still living on a subsistence basis,” said Loew, who also worked as a journalist covering treaty rights and tribal spearfishing for many years. “Those were really, really dark days for our tribal members.”John Johnson, tribal president of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, helps set up a tribal flag during a youth spearfishing event Saturday, April 20, 2024, in Lac Du Flambeau, Wis.

John Johnson, tribal president of the Lac du Flambeau band of Ojibwe, described stories on the reservation about how game wardens would burn game right in front of the people who had caught them. He said that some families would hide their food in the woods just so they would survive the winter.By the 1960s, a few Ojibwe individuals started resurfacing treaty documents of the past, and multiple tribal members purposely got arrested for spearfishing so the cases would go to court. In 1983, the Supreme Court ruled to reaffirm Ojibwe treaty rights on and off reservation land.

But then angry and misinformed locals started showing up to picket at lakes and harass tribal members. They slashed tires, shouted racist slurs and shot at spearfishers.

“A lot of us understood that this reaction to fish, that this wasn’t just about fish,” said Loew, who was one of the few Indigenous media professionals covering the story and whose family members were among those risking their safety to spearfish. “This was about that racial tension finally bubbling to the surface.”“What happened in Charleston does have the right to claim to be first, if that matters,” Blight

As early as 1869, The New York Times wrote that the holiday could become “sacrilegious” and no longer “sacred” if it focused more on pomp, dinners and oratory.In an 1871 Decoration Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery abolitionist Frederick Douglass said he feared Americans were forgetting the Civil War’s impetus: enslavement.

“We must never forget that the loyal soldiers who rest beneath this sod flung themselves between the nation and the nation’s destroyers,” Douglass said.His concerns were well-founded, said Ben Railton, a professor of English and American studies at Fitchburg State University in Massachusetts. Although roughly 180,000 Black men served in the Union Army, the holiday in many communities would essentially become “white Memorial Day,” especially after the rise of the Jim Crow South, Railton told the AP in 2023.
