  • GLS - 140 Fishing, Indigeneity and the Asia Pacific I

    3 Credit(s)
    Fishing, Indigeneity and the Asia Pacific (Introductory) uses the Canadian fishing industry as a vehicle to explore issues of Indigenous sovereignty, trans-pacific migration, ethnic and intercultural relations, and globalization. Canada is a nation built on fish and the fishery remains culturally and economically integral to Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. In a globalized framework, the land, sea and marine life will be considered from three perspectives: as relational to family networks in decolonized and Indigenous ways of knowing and being; as “property” from capitalist, settler colonial perspectives; and as ways of knowing in East Asian cultures. Kwakwakaʼwakw, Nuu-chah-nulth and Coast Salish fishers on Vancouver Island and the pre-World War II migration of Japanese fishers from Wakayama to their unceded, traditional territories will serve as a place-based case study.
