cigarettes

Most of the activity in the Landing, though, is traffic in and out of the smokeshop, where customers can save $20 or more on a carton of cigarettes. Aside from federal grants, the smokeshop is the communityТs sole source of funds. For all its seeming ordinariness, though, FrankТs Landing has a remarkable history. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the epicenter of the struggle over Indian fishing rights, and in Indian Country it still has a status something like a shrine. Indian activists from around the country gathered at the Landing in the early Т70s, drawing hundreds of supporters that included political leftists, radical students, Black Panthers and movie stars. Marlon Brando and Jane Fonda both made cameo appearances. The LandingТs residents Ц among them Billy Frank, the communityТs charismatic Уgetting-arrested guyФ; Al and Maiselle Bridges and their outspoken daughters, Suzette, Allison and Valerie; and the LandingТs political strategist, Hank Adams Ц seized the nationТs attention.
