Sharing Indigenous Knowledge Across Boundaries: Fishing Sovereignty in Alaska and British Columbia
November 16, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM |
Pacific herring are foundational to the lifeways of First Nations and Indigenous communities up and down the coast of British Columbia and Alaska. As government entities manage the herring for commercial production and profit, Indigenous elders have witnessed the depletion of sustaining abundance.
We invite you to join representatives of the Tlingit and Heiltsuk Nations, along with experts in tribal law and natural resource management from both Canada and the United States, for a discussion of the state of Pacific herring fisheries and what can be learned and shared across the border. This event is听hosted by the听Canadian Studies Center听and听Jackson School of International Studies.
