As visitors entered the "Fish for All" exhibit they encountered a fish rising out of the waters of Lake Michigan covered with messages and images reproduced from bumper stickers, signs, and other items collected in fishing communities in the states bordering Lake Michigan. "White Fish for Red Men" and "Save a Fish--Spear an Indian" are examples of expressions of conflicting views on the use of fisheries resources. A collage of voices drawn from over fifty oral history interviews with state and federal government fisheries officials and tribal, commercial, and sport fishers, underscored the contested nature of Lake Michigan fisheries.

The purpose of the exhibit's introductory section was to raise questions regarding the conservation and management of Lake Michigan fisheries. Who should determine how Lake Michigan fisheries are managed? Who should settle differences of opinion regarding fisheries policy? How can state and federal government officials and commercial, sport, and tribal fishers work together to ensure there will be fish for all?
