In what ways did and do resources play a fundamental role in the interaction between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous people?
How were the relationships framed between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people?

I will explore the implications of fishing, especially the opening up of commercial fisheries and how that took away local community based control of the First Nations bands along the river.

How did the resources play a part in the loss of culture?

The Indigenous communities are deeply rooted and connected to their land, rivers, and ecosystems. Thus, I essentially want to focus on fishing as it is one of the main resources of Indigenous communities that have been and are continuing to be depleted and how non-Indigenous people have utilized these privileges. In doing so, I would like to expand our knowledge on how we can share resources such as the new emergency of co-management and begin to heal the damage done in the past.
