Native peoples who fished the Salish Sea drew social and cultural borders around salmon fishing locations and found ways to administer the resource in a sustainable way. Nineteenth-century European settlers took a different approach and drew the Anglo-American border along the forty-ninth parallel, ignoring the salmon's patterns and life cycle. As the canned salmon industry grew and more people moved into the region, class and ethnic relations changed. The Nature of Borders is about the ecological effects of creating cultural and political borders.-- Publisher description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Online resource; title from PDF title page (ProQuest, viewed September 18, 2017) Subject Salmon fisheries -- Salish Sea (B.C. and Wash.)
