Notes on Dianne Newell, Tangled Webs of History: Indians and the Law in Canada's Pacific Coast Fisheries

In 1995, facing the loss of thousands of fisheries jobs and the devastation of regional economies, the Canadian government used force to stop turbot fishing by Spanish fishers outside its 200-mile limit. Canada's gunboat diplomacy demonstrated the international tensions that competition for fisheries resources can cause. It is well recognised that fishing resources are under pressure globally and many fishing communities are under threat both economically and culturally. In Canada, there have been tensions over salmon and other fisheries resources for a long time, especially between whites and natives struggling to maintain a traditional lifestyle. In her pathbreaking book, Tangled Webs of History: Indians and the Law in Canada's Pacific Coast Fisheries, Dianne Newell provides the first thorough analysis of the Pacific Coast fisheries and the impact of state regulation on aboriginal fishing customs. She draws on a rich collection of sources, including oral history, to produce a book that provides information on a wide array of historical issues, including the impact of European law, technological change, the role of ethnic groups and the evolution of resource management. For thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans, Indian tribes had exploited the resources of the rivers and seas. The seasonal salmon migrations into the river systems of the west coast provided the natives with a food staple, as well as a resource for trade and ceremonial purposes. The tribes evolved a sea-based culture, with distinctive customs, beliefs and ceremonies. Traditional laws controlled access to streams and regulated the use of technology. Fish featured in one of the core institutions of Indian society, the Potlatch, a ceremony at which
