LAW Advocates honors the legacy of Billy Frank Jr., a Nisqually leader and lifelong advocate for Native American treaty rights and environmental protection. For decades, Billy Frank Jr. stood up for the fishing rights promised to tribal nations and worked to protect the salmon and waterways that sustain communities across the Pacific Northwest. His work reminds us that protecting natural resources and honoring treaty rights are deeply connected to justice and equity. We recognize his lasting impact and the generations he continues to inspire.
