A stylized Coast Salish graphic of a person paddling a canoe
comes onto the screen and stops above an introductory paragraph
about marine resources, specifically fish, found in the Victoria
harbour area and our dependence upon them. Various tools and
fishing related implements form part of the Royal British
Columbia museum collection. Photographs of fishing technology
exhibits from the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations at the
turn of the 19th century are the starting point for these
activities. The fisher paddles in again to a photograph of a
salmon hook used for trolling. There is a brief description of
what they were made of as well as how they were used. The salmon
fishing activity involves catching salmon with the hook by using
your arrows to move it as animated salmon swim by. Once the time
period is up, the viewer is told how many salmon they caught.
Additional information as well as an archival photograph about
salmon preparation, preservation, and nutrition is provided.
