To Fish in Common - The Ethnohistory of Lummi Indian Salmon Fishing (Paperback, New Ed)

"Boxberger knows his subject. He displays an impressive understanding of the technical development of fishing, and he repeatedly uses his interviews with Indians to inform and test archival and secondary sources." "--American Indian Quarterly"

"By focusing on the history of control over productive resources (in this case salmon, methods of harvest, processing, capital investment, and markets) Boxberger shows how the Lummi slid from independence and self-sufficiency to dependency, underdevelopment, and poverty. . . . Not only is it an excellent, in-depth study of the Lummi case, it can also serve as a metaphor for the larger question of Native American treaty rights and the resource provisions of agreements." "--Pacific Historical Review"

Daniel L. Boxberger is professor of anthropology at Western Washington University, Bellingham.
