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 people of their fisheries. Building upon themes developed in literatures on state law and local custom, and on law and colonialism, he examines the controversial nature of the colonial encounter at the local level. In doing so, Harris reveals the many divisions both within and among government departments, local setter societies, and Aboriginal communities." "Drawing on government records, statute books, case reports, newspapers, missionary papers, and secondary anthropological literature to explore the roots of the continuing conflict over the salmon fishery, Harris has produced a timely legal and historical study of law as contested terrain in the legal capture of Aboriginal salmon fisheries in British Columbia."--JacketIndians of North AmericaFishingLaw and legislationIndians of North AmericaFishingLaw and legislationBritish ColumbiaHistorySalmon fisheriesLaw and legislationBritish ColumbiaHistoryColombie-Britannique (Province)rasuqamBritish ColumbiafastHistory.Electronic books.
