1880’s Canada’s Fisheries Act passed laws creating the legal category of “food fishing”. This law said that under their Aboriginal fishing rights, FNS could use salmon resources for food and ceremonial uses only. The effect of this law was to forbid the sale of fish caught by FNS pple within their traditional fisheries. As a result, FNS lost their traditional and customary ownership of fishing resources.
