Abstract: Abstract On the most south-western tip of Canada the Semiahmoo Indian Reserve, my sometime childhood playground, sits on a bay of the Strait of Georgia, a few blocks away from where I grew up. Low-lying, it is a place of saltwater marshes, clam beds, and an impressive seasonal array of migratory birds. Historically, the Semiahmoo used reef-nets to catch salmon as they swam along the Strait towards the spawning grounds — upstream on coastal rivers. By the turn of the 20th century, commercial fisheries had seen the end of the annual Semiahmoo fishery. And so, by the middle of the 20th century, many of the Semiahmoo earned livings working in nearby lumber mills.
