2006) 12,000+ Years of Change: Linking traditional and modern ecosystem science
Recent archaeological evidence documents that people lived on the Pacific Northwest coast at least 12,000 years ago. As the ice retreated, some 10,000 stocks of salmon colonized 3,600 rivers and streams in what is now British Columbia. Over the same period, First Nations developed sophisticated poli...
