Adapt the following extensions or create new ones! Remember,
the best extension by far is direct experience with Oregon's
land and people!
|
Write
Write a fictional story and stage a play that exemplifies the competitive n=
ature of the fishing enterprise. Consider the implications of this competit=
ion for the fishery.
Celebrate
the tradition of fishing in Oregon by participating in a first salmon
ceremony. Attend a local event celebrating fisheries in Oregon3.
Explore
museums and exhibits that portray local histories of fishing in
Oregon4. Keep a list of I didn't know that statements
about what's gleaned from the displays and artifacts.
Research
and prepare a local history of a community that is heavily dependent on
fishing for their livelihood today. Note the importance of other
industries, such as those represented by canneries, markets, and
transportation, in the development of the fishing industry in that locale.
Create
a brochure that explains the history of fishing in your area, and
where to find it.
Develop
a series of maps of the area defined as Oregon today, from the time
prior to European settlement to the present. Include the distribution of
salmon, land use activities, and areas fished, as well as locations of
reservations, major dams, and cities and towns. Information about harvest
relative to Oregons post-European settlement population may also be
instructive.
3 For example, participate in the Wy-Am Salmon Feast at Celilo
Village, the Indian Style Salmon Bake at Depoe Bay, the Annual Oregon
Salmon Festival in Gresham, the Yachats Smelt Fry, the Charleston Seafood
Festival, or the Alsea Bay Crab Festival.
4 Some museums and exhibits are listed in the See It section of
this guide. Contact a local chamber of commerce for additional exhibits
and information.
