Books by Douglas C. Harris

Reveals the contradictions and the consequences of an Indian land policy premised on access to fish and a program of fisheries management intended to open the resource to newcomers. Presenting first treaties signed on Vancouver Island between 1850 and 1854, this book maps the connections between colonial land policy and fisheries law and policy.

An engrossing history, Fish, Law, and Colonialism recounts the human conflict over fish and fishing in British Columbia and of how that conflict was shaped by law.
