For thousands of years, the people of Lake Babine operated traditional salmon weirs, sustainably catching and preserving 750,000 sockeye each season. In 1906, the Canadian government outlawed the fish weirs. Elder Fred Williams teaches Rudy about the history of colonial injustice at Fort Babine including impacts of amalgamation, the Indian Act, and the loss of their local economy and way of life. • Jacob and Rudy hike the Grease Trail with elder Fred Williams, following blazes left by the ancestors of the Fort Babine Nation. Major trails that lead in and out of Fort Babine, these grease trails are hundreds if not thousands of years old,and marked by culturally modified trees that lead the team on an ethno-archaeological journey through the BC interior. • Check out more at: https://wildarchaeology.com/language-... • Social Media: • https://twitter.com/wildarchaeology?l... • / wildarchaeology • / wildarchaeology
