Indian fishing: Early methods on the Northwest Coast

About this book

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.
