To ensure we were asking the right questions, the Fish Outlaws project developed and co-facilitated workshops for Elders and youth, including a two-day workshop with Tsawwassen youth, and a one-day workshop with Tsawout Elders and youth.

The workshops centred around one key question: What does a more just future look like for Indigenous fishers and how do we get there?

To help answer this question, we held presentations discussing Indigenous fishing rights and technologies, youth-led conversations about systemic racism and the colonization of Indigenous fisheries and individuals, discussions and poetry with Musqueam fisher poet Wilfred Wilson, classroom activities, boat trips and a land-based photo workshop.

The Tsawout Elder-youth Workshop was supervised by UBC First Nations and Indigenous Studies Practicum student Nicole Jung.
