SUPPLIED TITLE OF TAPE(S): Ed Sparrow RECORDED: Vancouver (B.C.), 1976-01-28 SUMMARY: Ed Sparrow was born on the Musqueam Reserve and started as a boat puller in 1911-1912 on a Columbia River sailboat. Fished and got his first sailboat in 1916. Very few gas boats then, very hard work without a gas engine. There were lots of fish those days, 5 days of fishing a week, up until the early 1940s. Palmer and Easthope engines were used first. Sailboat had only a little tent and everything was always wet. Gear improved over the years. Nets were pulled by hand until the early 1940s when drums came. Canoe Pass has changed, good fishing in old days, too shallow now, since the big flood of the 1940s. North Arm fishing died off in the early 1950s due to pollution by log booms, dead heads, and sewer outlets. Sockeyes came up only during the freshest time, now (1976) the numbers of spawners have gone down considerably. You now have to go further out to fish and the nets are nearly transparent. You fish harder because now there are only 1 to 2 days a week to make money. Its hard to get into fishing these days, it costs a lot of money. Many of the Indian fishermen went longshoring and logging and left the fishing industry. His people used to have different fish camps on the Fraser River, and they used to move with the season, many of them worked in the canneries up at Deas Island. In the early days it was mostly Indian and Japanese fishermen, very few whites. His wife worked at Imperial Cannery until 1969. He worked at the Vancouver Cannery in 1919 then went to logging camp. Indians and whites weren't organized in a union until 1915, Japanese were already well-organized. 1942 U.F.A.W.U. started to form. He was vice president of the Native Brotherhood for some time. Benefits of unions to fishermen. Eulachon was also fished by the Musqueam. Herring fishery of the 1920s. Describes his village. He is (1976) President of Musqueam Enterprises.
