Book excerpt: This is a study of the connections between Indian reserves, Native fisheries, and Anglo-Canadian fisheries law in British Columbia from 1850-1927. This period covers the era of Indian reserve allotments when provincial and Dominion governments inscribed a reserve geography on the province that remains largely intact today. It also includes the emergence of an industrial commercial fishery, the introduction of Canadian fisheries law, and the growth of non-Native settlement on the Pacific coast, and it is this configuration that is the focus of this thesis. Beginning with the first treaties signed on Vancouver Island in the 1850s, this study describes the development of a Native land policy premised upon the denial of Native title and characterized by small, scattered reserves that were intended to secure village and resource procurement sites. It argues that the reserve geography of British Columbia, imposed upon Native peoples, cannot be understood without recognizing that reserve land was allotted primarily to secure access to the fisheries. This thesis also describes the legal forms that descended on the Native fisheries, reallocating the resource to other users. It explains the impact of the common law public right to fish, the construction of an Indian food fishery, and the statutory regulation of the commercial fishery. The result was to construct the fishery as an open-access resource, denying Native ownership except to allow a restricted food fishery. The category of food fishing performed the same function as the reserves. It set aside a small portion of the resource, opening the rest to immigrants. In the commercial fishery, although their labour was initially important, the state imposed various laws and implement policies that worked to limit Native peoples opportunities to participate fully. The result was that Native peoples had insufficient access to the one resource from which they might have made built viable reserve-based economies. The study concludes by suggesting that the process of reserve allotments provides one of the bases for renewed and enhanced Native participation in the fisheries.

Book excerpt: Landing Native Fisheries reveals the contradictions and consequences of an Indian land policy premised on access to fish, on one hand, and a program of fisheries management intended to open the resource to newcomers, on the other. Beginning with the first treaties signed on Vancouver Island between 1850 and 1854, Douglas Harris maps the connections between the colonial land policy and the law governing the fisheries. In so doing, Harris rewrites the history of colonial dispossession in British Columbia, offering a new and nuanced examination of the role of law in the consolidation of power within the colonial state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing history, Fish, Law, and Colonialism recounts the human conflict over fish and fishing in British Columbia and of how that conflict was shaped by law. 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.

Book excerpt: Uncommon Property describes Canadian West Coast fisheries in the 1980s, focusing on the social and economic structure of the industry. It is the product of a three-year research project conducted by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. Part 1 is concerned with the history of the industry, the role of the federal and provincial governments, international markets, significant differences in raw fish markets and their importance for the fish processing sector, and the international context for British Columbia fisheries. Part 2 considers the labour process. This includes chapters on shoreworkers and fishers, with descriptions of their characteristics and working conditions. It also examines their history of organization, the special place of native Indians in the fishery, and the perspective of history by the Union of Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union Newspaper. Part 3 considers fishing communities: their viability when they are dependent on a diminishing resource and their responses to resource depletion. This study offers readers unique insights into the complex problems of fishing industries in which competing interests are attempting to find solutions to unresolvable contradictions.
