Oyster River Fish Hatchery
by Magnus Jorgensen

A fish hatchery is a place that helps produce and raise salmon. They are doing that so they can release them back into the wild. Hatcheries are in fresh water. Fish hatcheries raise fish such as pink, steelhead, coho, chum and chinook. Fishes are raised in tanks and pens. Our local hatchery is the Oyster River hatchery in Black Creek. There are many volunteers who take care of the fish. Phil has helped us learn a lot. We are lucky to have the Coho in our classroom.
Cedar
Dixw ( yellow cedar)
Kwaka’ni ( red cedar)
Cedar is helped by salmon. Salmon rot into the soil to help the cedar to grow. Indigenous people can use the cedar. The cedar borrows off salmon and the salmon fertilize the cedar at the end of their life cycle. Salmon are a symbol of fertility and renewal for our local Indigenous people. There are two types of cedar one yellow and one red. Indigenous people used cedar bentwood boxes to put water in and use it for cooking fish, stew or soup. They use cedar for bowls and for drying salmon on cedar racks and use cedar to make smoking skewers. They use cedar to make nets woven from cedar. Cedar can also be used for handles for fishing and tools to cut up salmon to get rid of all of the parts they don’t need.
