Divergent values and. approaches to land and resource use and fur
conservation created conflicts between aboriginal and non-
aboriginal peoples which have remained largely hidden in
historical records. This study of the compulsory trap line
registration system implemented in British Columbia in 1925
examines these conflicts; the jurisdictional arid administrative
issues related, to fur conservation that contributed, to the
disputes; and the First Nations objections to fur management
schemes that validated white appropriation of traditional lands
and restricted traditional vocations and access to important
sources of food.' supplies. Although First Nations people spoke
persuasively about aboriginal rights and justice, their voices
remained largely unheard and. unheeded. Legally disempowered and
without political support, First Nation's people were
marginalized, removed from lands they had occupied and used, since
'time immemorial.'
