At Burnt Church\/Esgenoetitj, New Brunswick, the Mi'kmaw fishery provoked violent confrontations with neighbours and the Canadian government. Over the next two years, boats, cottages, and a sacred grove were burned, people were shot at and beaten, boats rammed and sunk, roads barricaded, and the local wharf occupied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on 12 months of ethnographic field work in Burnt Church\/Esgenoetitj, \u003cem\u003eFishing in Contested Waters\u003c\/em\u003e explores the origins of this dispute and the beliefs and experiences that motivated the locals involved in it. Weaving the perspectives of Native and non-Native people together, Sarah J. King examines the community as a contested place, simultaneously Mi'kmaw and Canadian. Drawing on philosophy and indigenous, environmental, and religious studies, \u003cem\u003eFishing in Contested Waters\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the deep roots of contemporary conflicts over rights, sovereignty, conservation, and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442610964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442610965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Sarah King","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072963997951,"sku":"9781442610965","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c0b832b-5113-4d9d-b0f9-567daeffd738.jpg?v=1685444987","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fishing-in-contested-waters-sarah-king-9781442610965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
