Indian fishing: Early methods on the Northwest Coast

Indian fishing: Early methods on the Northwest Coast by Stewart, Hilary. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780295955568.

Of the many resources available to the First Nations of the Northwest Coast, the most vital was fish. The people devised ingenious ways of catching the different species of fish, creating a technology vastly different from that of todays industrial world. With attention to clarity and detail, Hilary Stewart illustrates their hooks, lines, sinkers, lures, floats, clubs, spears, harpoons, nets, traps, rakes and gaffs, showing how these were made and used--in over 450 drawings and 75 photographs.
