Tribal Council | Trapping
Intensity (click to enlarge further) As you can see, the
majority of trapping takes place over a much larger area then a more southern
community would. However, they also trap in considerably less concentrated area.
The rotational cycle for the trap line is quite long so that the low carrying
land has time to recover. This means that they don't over trap one area and assures
that they can continue to hunt indefinitely. Most of the animals trapped
along the coast were either seal or white and silver foxes. They were trapped
for their pelts which then traded for necessities that the community could use. |
