Representation in Other Media
The treaty rights fishing battles captured national attention from media, including the political magazine Mother Jones. the events, issues and people were explored in Lighting the Seventh Fire, (1995), a documentary film made by Sandra Sunrising Osawa (Makah) and broadcast nationally on PBS on July 4, 1995. The title refers to an Ojibwe prophecy, about the seventh fire when the people's traditions will be revived after a time of trial.
Two books have also been written about the events, which are part of a renewal of activism by Native American tribes to exercise their treaty rights, pursue land claims, and exercise sovereignty.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
