Tangled webs of history : Indians and the law in Canada's Pacific Coast fisheries

Newell, Dianne 1943- (Author).

Summary: Fishing rights are one of the major areas of dispute for Aboriginals in Canada and many other countries today. Dianne Newell explores this controversial issue and looks at the intricate and changing ways government regulatory policy and the law have affected First Nations’ participation in the Pacific Coast fisheries. Along the way, she relates the history of Aboriginal fisheries and their management, charts the development of industrial fishing and fish processing in British Columbia, and examines the contemporary legal landscape in Canada regarding the Aboriginal right to fish.
