Treaties Broken on Nisqually
Al and Maiselle Bridges travel this morning to the Thurston County Courthouse across the boulevard from the Washington State Capitol to face another trial arising from the exercise of their right to take fish under express provision of the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854. They are accompanied by eldest and youngest daughters Suzette (Bridges-Mills) and Alison Bridges (Gottfriedson) - who also have been arrested repeatedly. Al and Maiselle were acquitted in this all-day trial - along with Maiselle's brother and sister-in-law Don and Janet McCloud, Su'Zan Satiacum, and Puyallup fisherman Don George. The State Game and Fisheries wardens had been particularly brutal in the arrest action on the Nisqually River at Franks Landing. Marlon Brando - who courted arrest on the Nisqually, Puyallup and Quileute Rivers with Indian fishemen in March 1964 - narrates. Buffy Ste. Marie's Now That The Buffalo's Gone covers the filmed activity. The fishermen mending net at video's beginning is Herman Klaber Curly John (Nisqually). Joining the Bridges family in crossing the street to the courthouse at video's end is Su'Zan's husband Bob Satiacum (Puyallup Indian arrested with Brando on March 1, 1964) and Edith McCloud (Walla Walla-Umatilla) wife of Andrew McCloud, elder brother of Maiselle and her brother Don McCloud. The youngest brother of Andrew, Don and Maiselle is Billy Frank Jr. (1931-2014) who was awarded a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom (PMOF) by President Barack Obama in November 2015. [Their eldest sisters are Rose Frederick (Mrs. Herman Klaber Buck) John and Elsie McCloud (Sireech-Capoeman - Mrs. Robert) Capoeman [of Taholah, WA]. [Of all these, only Theresa Maiselle Bridges (yob: 1924), Suzette Bridges-Mills and Su'Zan Satiacum are yet living.]

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
