This workshop will explore how the salmon aquaculture industry is
experienced by coastal indigenous peoples in Canada and Norway. The links
between the Sami and First Nations in Canada were established decades ago
through the global indigenous movement. In recent years, some First Nations
leaders have appealed to Norwegian authorities to consider the state of the
wild salmon and the environmental impacts of the fish farming industry,
while others have resolved their disagreements with this industry. Yet there
appears to be little direct exchange of knowledge between Canadian and
Norwegian indigenous peoples about the environmental, legal, cultural, and
economic dimensions of salmon aquaculture. In bringing together
representatives from coastal Sami communities, First Nations from British
Columbia and Atlantic Canada, as well as academics from both countries, we
intend to build linkages between indigenous communities, and come to a
better understanding of how this globalized industry is experienced locally.
What are the hopes and fears for the future of the wild fisheries and the
fish farming industry? What successes and problems have emerged out of
discussions between indigenous communities, industry, and government
management agencies? Through presentations and round-table discussions, this
workshop will explore issues of consultation, industry-indigenous
partnerships and agreements, indigenous rights, risk and scientific
uncertainty, indigenous ecological knowledge, and the economic and social
sustainability of salmon aquaculture.
