  Treaty Justice - The Northwest...

  In 1974, Judge George Boldt issued a ruling that affirmed the fishing rights and tribal sovereignty of Native nations in Washington State. The Boldt Decision transformed Indigenous law and resource management across the United States and beyond. The case also brought about far-reaching societal changes, reinforcing tribal sovereignty and remedying decades of injustice. 
   
   
   
  Eminent legal historian and tribal advocate Charles Wilkinson tells the story of the Boldt Decision against the backdrop of salmon's central place in the cultures and economies of the Pacific Northwest. In the 1960s, Native people reasserted their fishing rights as delineated in nineteenth-century treaties. In response, state officials worked with non-Indian commercial and sport fishing interests to forcefully oppose Native actions. These "fish wars" spurred twenty tribes and the United States government to file suit in federal court. Boldt pointedly waited until Lincoln's birthday to hand down a decision recognizing the tribes' right to half of the state's fish. The case's aftermath led from the Supreme Court's affirmation of Boldt's opinion to collaborative management of the harvest of salmon. 
   
   
   
  Treaty Justice weaves personalities and local detail into the definitive account of one of the twentieth century's most important civil rights cases.

  Step into one of the most fascinating works of subterranean lore ever written. First published in 1908, The Smoky God recounts the extraordinary tale of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who claimed to have journeyed with his father through an opening at the North Pole into a vast hidden land within the Earth. 
  Inside, they discovered a thriving civilization of giants, a lush inner sun known as “The Smoky God,” and a society far advanced in peace, longevity, and wisdom. Blending travel narrative, myth, and esoteric speculation, this gripping account has become a cornerstone of Hollow Earth theory and alternative history. 
  Is it fact, allegory, or pure imagination? That question continues to fuel its enduring mystery. What is certain is that Emerson’s book has inspired generations of explorers, mystics, and seekers to question the boundaries of geography, science, and human possibility. 
  Now brought to life in audiobook form, The Smoky God is more than a story—it is an invitation to explore the unknown and consider what wonders might lie hidden beneath our very feet.

  Black Soldiers in the World...

  The United States has no shortage of famous military units, from the Civil War’s Iron Brigade to the 101st Airborne, but one would be hard pressed to find one that had to go through as many hardships off the field as the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American fighter pilots who overcame Jim Crow at home and official segregation in the military to serve their country in the final years of World War II. In fact, it required a concerted effort by groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the extreme circumstances brought about by World War II that the military eventually decided to establish the “Tuskegee Experiment.” In time, the Tuskegee Airmen would be romanticized and mythologized to the extent that it was erroneously claimed that some escort squadrons didn’t lose a bomber to the enemy, which led Tuskegee airman Grant Williams to note in jest, “Back then, nobody realized the significance of what we were doing. Now, they seem to think we could walk on water."  
  Between 1942 and 1949, nearly 20,000 black men trained at Montford Point. They endured tar-paper barracks that baked in summer heat and leaked in coastal storms, learned to drill to the cadence of instructors who sometimes doubted their right to wear the uniform, and mastered skills that would carry them to the beaches and supply trails of Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Their story illuminated the paradox of wartime America, a republic that preached freedom abroad while policing hierarchies at home. 
  One of the most overlooked African American combat units is the Harlem Hellfighters, also known as the 369th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army. Initially raised as the 15th New York (Colored) National Guard and later federalized for World War I, the regiment was "loaned" to the French Army, where it compiled an extraordinary combat record, with a remarkable 191 days on the line and suffering about 1,400 casualties.
