Discuss My Heart Is Good: Treaty Rights and the Rise of A S'Klallam Fishing Community by Ron Charles & John Wisniewski. 

In recounting the life story of Port Gamble S’Klallam Elder and former Tribal Chairman Ron Charles, My Heart Is Good traces the historical arc of the Port Gamble S’Klallams from treaty signing to the landmark 1974 Boldt Decision affirming tribal fishing rights, the subsequent 1994 court decision affirming the tribes’ shellfish harvesting treaty rights, and the growth of today’s S’Klallam commercial fishing fleet.
