'This is the #dichotomy we have between what people write about the things #Indigenous people have done on the landscape vs sensible reasons for why it was done,” said Benoit, whose heritage is #RedRiver #Michif (#Métis ). “Through #OralTradition, we knew that there were good #ecological and #food -related reasons to do these things.”

Benoit’s point is that the #Prairies were “#settled ” and #farmed long before #European #settlers arrived.'

However studies have shown that this method of slaughtering #fish using 'ice slurry' causes a slow, stressful death. World Organisation for Animal Health says it "results in poor fish welfare". The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), the leading farmed #seafood certification scheme is proposing a ban unless fish are stunned beforehandhttps://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-64814781
