    The Boldt decision granted Native Americans 50% of harvestable fish catch based on treaty language. However, the decision was not enforced and Native Americans' rights were not respected. The Centennial Accord established a framework for government-to-government relations between Washington state and tribes to assure Native American sovereignty would be respected, as the Boldt decision had aimed to do but failed to achieve. While the Boldt decision was the first step towards rights, the Accord formalized that the state would acknowledge tribal sovereignty and governments would work together cooperatively.

    What is the difference between the Centennial Accord and the Boldt decision? How are
    they similar?
    The Boldt decision and the Centennial Accord were both important acts that
    helped with the Native American civil rights movement. For example, according to Rob
    Carson of The News Tribune, the Boldt decisions ruling was stunning. Judge Boldt took
    the phrase in the treaty that said in common with and interpreted it as the Native
    Americans got 50% of the harvestable catch. For the sports and commercial fisherman,
    the ruling was a bombshell, and they lost most of their business. Most of them didn't
    follow the law, and Washington State didn't enforce them. For the Native Americans,
    they were happy that they got some of the fish back, but they wanted all the fish. They
    were also very upset because the non-native fishermen weren't respecting their rights.
    This explains why there was a lot of anger towards the Native Americans, but it also
    explains why the Native Americans protested for their rights. Another example from the
    Governors Office of Indian Affairs, says that the accord was between the federally
    recognized Indian tribes of Washington, and the State of Washington. It says that the
    accord provides a framework for the government-to-government relationship and
    implementation procedures to assure execution of that relationship. It also says that the
    Washington State government will respect the sovereignty of the Native Americans. As
    you can see, even after the Boldt decision, the Native Americans rights and sovereignty
    was not being respected. This is why the Centennial Accord was an agreement saying
    that the Washington States government and the Native Americans government will
    work together. From my brief research, Ive concluded that the Boldt decision, and its
    reactions led to the Centennial Accord. The Boldt decision was the first step to getting
    their rights back, but the Centennial Accord said that the Washington's state government
    would really respect the sovereignty of the Native Americans. The difference between
    these two acts we're that Washington didn't acknowledge the decision or law, they just
    did what they wanted too, without thinking about the Native Americans. The accord
    acknowledged the Native Americans, and decided to work together. This is how the
    Boldt decision and the Centennial Accord were both important acts in getting the Native
    Americans rights back.
    Best Informative Piece:

    I chose my Native American Inquiry Project Paragraph as my best informative


    piece. I chose this and it made me proud because I worked really hard on this project,
    and this paragraph summarized my findings. It was a piece to inform the reader about
    the Boldt decision and the Centennial Accord and how they are connected. The
    feedback that I received was that I got 100%. This made me even more proud and this
    is evidence that I became more awesome. I also grew by acquiring more skills of how to
    inform someone by using evidence and reasoning.
