This is a waste of time and resources! Other nations have already proven these have no use in the modern world. The information gathered has been collected my many others already. This will prove almost useless in the end! Who the hell is in charge!
ReplyDeleteI believe that this program will prove to be successful as much thought has gone into the construction and data collection.
ReplyDeleteOur Tsimshian Nation’s are having a difficult time feeding our Nation’s due to overfishing and an overwhelming amount of sports fishing.
Wishing Lax Kw’alaams all the best in this venture 🤲🏼🪶🐞
As a Tsimshian my self I totally disagree with a wheel going into these spots,the problem of feeding our people is not only from sport fishing and over fishing,but also from our own people selling all their fish ,you can look on facebook as an example,and that’s just the low end,I know many Tsimshian people that fish in those area,and some of them do give fish to the elders,it’s time we take some responsibility and stop blaming other users when all we have to do is look at ourselves, I also fish the upper area proposed and feel it would not be a good place for a fish wheel.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a Wheel?
ReplyDeleteA mechanism used to catch fish, here's a sample of a pair of fish wheels on the Nass River https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pouv-6buUo
