Boldt Decisions
Hank Adams helped to research information critical in affirming the Boldt Decision that agreed Native Americans had the right to fish in the waters of the Northwest that had been the center of many of Adams’ protests. With the help of Billy Frank Jr., the Native American face of the decision, Adams played a major behind-the-scenes job like he had at Wounded Knee and the BIA takeover. Adams continues to work with issues surrounding the Boldt Decision to this day.

Famous quotes containing the word decisions:
“What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making. . . . Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn’t mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
