Nlaka'pamux

A traditional fish weir on the Nicola River in Nlaka'pamux Territory. Weirs are a form of direct action that challenges colonial laws innacted to take over the aboriginal fishery. In 1989 Nlaka'pamux Chief Robert Pasco commenced legal action against the Canadian National Railroad for encroaching on salmon habitat. Photo: Watershed Watch Salmon Society
