Belly Up: Salmon in Peril
This video examines the salmon industry. The Heiltsuk and Nuxalk First Nations communities consider themselves "The Salmon People." Salmon provides sustenance, income and ceremonial use. This way of life is threatened by salmon farming and logging practices. Large international corporations set up salmon farms without consulting the First Nations. Both the Heiltsuk and Nuxalk have protested salmon farming and the clear-cut logging practices taking place in ancestral territories.
