The Story of Act 31 tells the story of the law's inception-tracing its origins to a court decision in 1983 that affirmed American Indian hunting and fishing treaty rights in Wisconsin, and to the violent public outcry that followed the court's decision. Author JP Leary paints a picture of controversy stemming from past policy decisions that denied generations of Wisconsin students the opportunity to learn about tribal history. Despite its uneven implementation, Act 31 stands as an important example of how American Indians worked through the policy system to pursue positive change.
