The research investigated questions of early Holocene wood artifact technologies and other plant use before the large-scale arrival of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), a cultural keystone species for Haida in more recent times. The project relied on small- scale excavations and sampling from two main areas of the site: a hearth complex and an activity area at the edge of a paleopond. The archaeobotanical assemblage from these two areas yielded 23 plant taxa representing 14 families in the form of wood, charcoal, seeds, and additional plant macrofossils.

Department of Anthropology & Sociology The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 October 18, 1982 e - ii - Abstract The exploitation of salmon resources was once central to the economic life of the Northwest Coast. The organization of technological skills and information brought to the problems of salmon utilization by Northwest Coast fishermen was directed to obtaining sufficient calories to meet the requirements of staple storage foods and fresh consumption. This study reconstructs selective elements of the traditional salmon fishery drawing on data from the ethnographic record, journals, and published observations of the period prior to intensive white settlement. To serve the objective of an ecological perspective, technical references to the habitat and distribution of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.) are included.

Carlron Ian Whitaker r External Examiner Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Simon Fraror Univerrlty ABSTRACT This thesis examines a number of ethno~raphicallycol- lected socketed harpoon heads and valves from the Northwest Coast. The aim of this thesis is to discover correlations between the formal attributes of harpoons and recorded func- tion. One hundred and twenty-seven specimen8 from the British Columbia Provincial Museum in Victoria, the National Museum of Man in Ottawa and the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnoloay at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby were examined and recorded. The methodology involved first of all establishine a standard- ized terminoloey for socketed harpoon heads and their consti- tuent parts. This terminology was then applied to the des- criptions of harpoon heads found in the ethnographic literature. Once the morpholoeical-functional types had been defined for the various groups, extendine from the Coast Salish in the south to the Tlingit in the north, the typology was ap~liedto the data in order to specify the formal attributes of the pre- viously defined types, or, conversely, to modify and redefine those types presented in the literature on the basis of the substantive data.

How healthy are healthy stocks? Case studies of three salmon and steelhead stocks in Oregon and Washington, including population status, threats, and monitoring recommendations. David Evans and Associates, Inc. Report. Portland, Oregon, USA. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Three salmon stocks were chosen for case studies in Oregon and Washington that were previously identified as “healthy” in a coast-wide assessment of stock status (Huntington et al. 1996): fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) of the Wilson River, summer steelhead (O. mykiss) of the Middle Fork John Day (MFJD) River, and winter steelhead (O. mykiss) of the Sol Duc River. The purpose of the study was to examine with a finer focus the status of these three stocks and the array of human influences that affect them. The best available information was used, some of which has become available since the 1996 assessment of healthy stocks was conducted. Recommendations for monitoring were developed to address priority data gaps and most pressing threats to the species.

The Region Located in Washington State, the Olympic Peninsula is an outdoor lover’s dream, providing opportunities for hiking, kayaking, camping, beach combing, surfing, fishing, and hunting. The Olympic National Park within the peninsula covers 1,442 square miles of wilderness. A big draw is the Hoh Rain Forest, one of the largest temperate rain forests in the United States. The peninsula is home to seven Tribes: Quileute, Hoh, Quinault, Elwha, S’Klallam, Makah, and Skokomish, each having their own unique culture and traditions. For More Information: olympicpeninsula.org nps.gov/olym/index.htm The Community The Quileute Reservation is in La Push, WA, which is nearly two square miles and home to approximately 400 enrolled members (total enrollment is around 800.) The Tribe was thrust into the spotlight in 2005 when Ste- phenie Meyer published “Twilight,” becoming known worldwide. This pop culture phenomenon increased tour- ism to La Push and Forks. Neighboring cities are Forks (14 miles from La Push), Port Angeles (70 miles), and Sequim (85 miles.) Due to lack of housing options in La Push, most employees find housing off- reservation in Forks.

  • Bogachiel Wild Steelhead Broodstock Program – Options Document August 19, 2014
    Bogachiel Wild Steelhead Broodstock Program – Options Document August 19, 2014 Background The Washington Department of Game entered into a 25-year cooperative agreement with the Olympic Peninsula Guides’ Association (OPGA) on June 17, 1986. The purpose of the agreement was: “to provide a maximum of 100,000 winter steelhead smolts of wild Soleduck River stock annually for release into the Soleduck River. These fish shall be reared to release size (larger than 10 fish /pound) on OPGA managed facilities and are to be used to produce additional harvestable adult steelhead for commercial and sport fishermen on the Quillayute River system. Returning adults from this project will be considered hatchery fish for the purposes of harvest management.” The OPGA was to draw broodstock each year from early returning Sol Duc wild steelhead, to be collected prior to February 1. The early returning wild steelhead were targeted to provide additional harvestable steelhead during the period between the December peaking early-timed hatchery returns and the later wild returns. There was an additional assumption that returning Snider origin steelhead that escaped the fisheries would bolster the early portion of the wild return, which is typically subjected to higher exploitation rates than the later timed peak return of wild steelhead. This agreement expired June of 2011, prompting a review of the project to assess its performance in light of its original purpose and the more recently developed Hatchery and Fishery Reform Policy guidelines, and management directives contained in the Statewide Steelhead Management Plan. A written assessment of the performance of the program, completed spring of 2011, is available for download from the web at: http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01187/.
