For those who may have some time, and are not satisfied with one or two line answers to questions of aboriginal rights on the rivers etc., Google books has some interesting excerpts from "Fish, law, and colonialism: the legal capture of salmon in British Columbia By Douglas Colebrook Harris".
Google books, to avoid problems under copywrite laws, provides excerpts from the text - sometimes quite large excerpts - plus the appropriate references for obtaining a copy of the book itself, whether through purchase or a library.
I do not have a copy of the actual text, but it appears to be primarily concerned with pre WW1. The Babine Lake section is covered pages 79(where the excerpt starts) to 126, and the Cowichan on pages 127 -168 (where the excerpt stops). Some pages are excluded within these, but you can get the thrust.
I stumbled on this while searching on the net for some other info on the Cowichan River/Lake, and thought some of you might find it interesting and informative. Interesting that some of the issues on the Cowichan that still are current date back to the 1890's.
