Janet McCloud

Janet McCloud, born on the Tulalip Reservation and a descendant of Chief Seattle, was a Tulalip-Nisqually fishing-rights leader at Frank's Landing who organized the early 1960s fish-ins alongside her husband Don McCloud, Hank Adams, and Billy Frank Jr. At a 1965 fish-in on the Nisqually River she and five others — including her husband — were arrested; she served six days and conducted a hunger strike in jail. She published the underground newspaper 'Survival News,' co-founded the Survival of American Indians Association, and later founded the Indigenous Women's Network from her Yelm, Washington home, which she named Sapa Dawn Center. She died in 2003.
