A History of Indian Fishing in British Columbia, 1850-1930
This history of First Nations fishing describes the regime of regulation and restriction imposed by Federal Marine and Fisheries. They denied Aboriginal rights and made attempts to limit and even stop fishing altogether in many areas of the province. This book also tells the story of our resistance to these attacks on fishing practices, local economies and our culture. The struggles took place in all areas, but the book focuses on the Babine, the Skeena, the Cowichan, and the Fraser River. The resistance and to defense our rights was persistent and never wavered.
