A Look at Indigenous Fishing Struggles Worldwide

Senator Josh Green, and Representatives Denny Coffman and Cindy Evans knew they had to respond to the public outcry over the closure of the public access road along the coast that leads to the Kohanaiki Beach area. Struggle of the Cucapa of Baja to protect their traditional fishing ways, resulting in international investigation, blockade and encampment.


Try this link: Ainu (Indigenous people of Japan) Fishing and other Cultural Practices Under Threat (Embedding was disabled, but it's worth following the link!)


The Mulka of Australia (Aboriginal tribe) show how important the passing on of fishing knowledge is to the health of their people.


Saami (Lapp) people of Norway struggle to protect their fishing rights and resources. These are the "reindeer people" that the Santa Claus story comes from!


Chamorro people of Guam win a small but controversial victory for indigenous fishing. What this news segment does not show is the way that indigenous fishing is part of resource protection, not necessarily a threat.


Annie Pilgrim, Takelma (Oregon tribe) elder talks about fishing as part of native life "back in the day".
