Pacific salmon fisheries, owned and managed by Aboriginal peoples, were transformed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by commercial and sport fisheries backed by the Canadian state and its law. Through detailed case studies of the conflicts over fish weirs on the Cowichan and Babine rivers, Douglas Harris describes the evolving legal apparatus that dispossessed Aboriginal peoples of their fisheries. Building upon themes developed in literatures on state law and local custom, and law and colonialism, he examines the contested nature of the colonial encounter on the scale of a river. In doing so, Harris reveals the many divisions both within and between government departments, local settler societies, and Aboriginal communities.Drawing on government records, statute books, case reports, newspapers, missionary papers and a secondary anthropological literature to explore the roots of the continuing conflict over the salmon fishery, Harris has produced a superb, and timely, legal and historical study of law as contested terrain in the legal capture of Aboriginal salmon fisheries in British Columbia.Indians of North AmericaFishingLaw and legislationIndians of North AmericaFishingLaw and legislationBritish ColumbiaHistorySalmon fisheriesLaw and legislationBritish ColumbiaHistoryElectronic books.Indians of North AmericaFishingLaw and legislation.Indians of North AmericaFishingLaw and legislationHistory.Salmon fisheriesLaw and legislationHistory.343.73076Harris Douglas C(Douglas Colebrook),1031421MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455509203321Fish, law, and colonialism2448793UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
