75-690: At the head of the lower reach of the river, on the shore of the lake, lies a prehistoric village which was a Chilkoot Indian settlement. The names of the village — Tschilkut, Tananel, or Chilcoot — have been given to the river and also to the lake. The river and its precincts, known as the Chilkoot River Corridor, have been brought under the monitoring of the Chilkoot River Corridor Strategic Planning Project (CRC) to preserve its ecological and historical heritage. A fishing weir has also been constructed on

150-556: A fish ladder . Weirs were traditionally built from wood or stones. The use of fishing weirs as fish traps probably dates back prior to the emergence of modern humans , and have since been used by many societies around the world. In the Philippines , specific indigenous fishing weirs (a version of the ancient Austronesian stone fish weirs) are also known in English as fish corral and barrier net . The English word 'weir' comes from

Mathias Rust was convicted of hooliganism, among other things, for his 1987 Cessna landing on Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge next to Red Square . Since the fall of the Soviet Union, nowadays, hooliganism is defined generally in the Criminal Code of Russia as an average gravity crime. More recently,

600-587: A detailed contemporary narrative of the struggle of the owners of the weir at Umberleigh in Devon to be exempted from this 1535 regulation. The Salmon Fishery Act 1861 ( 24 & 25 Vict. c. 109) (relevant provisions re-enacted since) bans their use except wherever their almost continuous use can be traced to before the Magna Carta (1215). In Ireland , discoveries of fish traps associated with weirs have been dated to 8,000 years ago. Stone tidal weirs were used around

The net is then immersed right up to the bed of the river from the bow end of the canoe (when its broadside drifts along the flow). The net is then drawn up swiftly against the current and with a quick turn of the wrist the contents are tipped into the boat. Semi conical baskets made of spruce rods are used in

750-414: A dynamic process occurring at different levels. Macro-sociological accounts suggest that structural strains, experiences of deprivation or a low socio-economic background can at times be instrumental to the acceptance and reproduction of norms that tolerate great levels of violence and territoriality, which is a common feature of football hooliganism. Furthermore, social cleavages within societies facilitate

Later, as the meaning of the word shifted slightly, none of the possible alternatives had precisely the same undertones of a person, usually young, who belongs to an informal group and commits acts of vandalism or criminal damage, starts fights, and who causes disturbances but

1050-467: A period from 1953 to 1956 by the Alaska Road Commission; the intended purpose was to have access to the recreation area for quality fishing and access to small boats to the river shores for extracting timber from the area for commercial purposes. The road on the upstream side of the lake known as 'Cox Road' (named after a homestead owner in the upper reach of the river) on the west side of the lake

1125-532: A popular sight during May through September. Apart from the bald eagles, Brown Bears are seen feeding in the river on salmons, mostly in spring and early summer. A plaque displayed on the right bank of the Chilkoot River, near the Deer Rock monument, reads 'Salmon Forest'. The importance of the ecosystem has been briefly explained in this plaque highlighting the role of salmons in the food chain of eagles, bears, gulls, crows, ravens, other mammals and birds that carry it to

Wildlife issues of concern are: avoidance of ‘Human-Wildlife Conflicts’ by monitoring and improving visitor activity with adequate interaction; to enhance habitat and scenic values, and to ensure that exclusive corridors are maintained for

1275-512: A stone fish weir in Taiwan was constructed by the indigenous Taokas people in Miaoli County . Most stone fish weirs are believed to also be ancient, but few studies have been conducted into their antiquity as they are difficult to determine due to being continually rebuilt in the same location. The technology of tidal stone fish weirs has also spread to neighboring regions when Taiwan came under

Chilkoot Lake State Recreation Site was established and managed by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources; Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. The recreation site sits amidst

1500-695: A working Group of the 'Stake Holders' formulated guidelines for use of the River Corridor. These guidelines have been published in the form of 'Statutes and Regulations' made applicable throughout the state of Alaska including the Chilkoot River Corridor. These Acts relate to the Feeding of Bears under “Act 5AAC 92.230” with exceptions to trapping of wild Black Bears under “Act 5AAC 84-AAC92”, and Harassment of Wild Life under “Alaska Statute 16.05.920” with exception under Act 5AAC 92.440 with regard to “Taking game in defense of life and property”.

1650-533: Is a public nuisance . There are several theories regarding the origin of the word hooliganism, which is a derivative of the word hooligan . The Compact Oxford English Dictionary states that the word may have originated from the surname of a rowdy Irish family in a music hall song of the 1890s. Clarence Rook , in his 1899 book Hooligan Nights , wrote that the word came from Patrick Hoolihan (or Hooligan), an Irish bouncer and thief who lived in London . In 2015,

1725-410: Is an obstruction placed in tidal waters, or wholly or partially across a river, to direct the passage of, or trap fish. A weir may be used to trap marine fish in the intertidal zone as the tide recedes, fish such as salmon as they attempt to swim upstream to breed in a river, or eels as they migrate downstream. Alternatively, fish weirs can be used to channel fish to a particular location, such as to

1800-489: Is not a thief. Hooliganism is now predominately related to sport. The words hooliganism and hooligan began to be associated with violence in sports , in particular from the 1970s in the UK with football hooliganism . The phenomenon, however, long preceded the modern term; for example, one of the earliest known instances of crowd violence at a sporting event took place in ancient Constantinople . Two chariot racing factions,

1875-630: The Boylston Street Fishweir have been documented during excavations for subway tunnels and building foundations. The Boylston Street Fishweir was actually a series of fish weirs built and maintained near the tidal shoreline between 3,700 and 5,200 years ago. Natives in Nova Scotia use weirs that stretch across the entire river to retain shad during their seasonal runs up the Shubenacadie , Nine Mile, and Stewiacke rivers, and use nets to scoop

1950-485: The Soviet Union the word khuligan (Russian: хулиган – transliteration of the English word) was used to refer to scofflaws . Hooliganism (Russian: хулиганство , khuliganstvo ) was listed as a criminal offense, similar to disorderly conduct in some other jurisdictions, and used as a catch-all charge for prosecuting unapproved behavior. Olympic medalist Vasiliy Khmelevskiy was convicted of hooliganism for setting

2025-401: The 1990s the UK government has led a widescale crackdown on football related violence. While football hooliganism has been a growing concern in some continental European countries in recent years, British football fans now tend to have a better reputation abroad. Although reports of British football hooliganism still surface, the instances now tend to occur at pre-arranged locations rather than at

2100-625: The 7th century in China. In medieval Europe , large fishing weir structures were constructed from wood posts and wattle fences. V-shaped structures in rivers could be as long as 60 m (200 ft) and worked by directing fish towards fish traps or nets. Such weirs were frequently the cause of disputes between various classes of river users and tenants of neighbouring land. Basket weir fish traps are shown in medieval illustrations and surviving examples have been found. Basket weirs are about 2 m (6.6 ft) long and comprise two wicker cones, one inside

2175-570: The Anglo-Saxon wer, one meaning of which is a device to trap fish. A line of stones dating to the Acheulean in Kenya may have been a stone tidal weir in a prehistoric lake, which if true would make this technology older than modern humans . In September 2014 researchers from University of Victoria investigated what may turn out to be a 14,000-year-old fish weir in 120 ft (37 m) of water off

2250-661: The BBC Scotland TV programme The Secret Life of Midges noted that the English commander-in-chief during the Jacobite rising of 1745 , General Wade , misheard the local Scots Gaelic word for midge — meanbh-chuileag —and coined the word hooligan to describe his fury and frustration at the way the tiny biting creatures made the life of his soldiers and himself a misery; this derivation may be apocryphal . The word first appeared in print in London police court reports in 1894 referring to

2325-586: The Blues and the Greens, were involved in the Nika riots which lasted around a week in 532 CE; nearly half the city was burned or destroyed, in addition to tens of thousands of deaths.

This essential planning is a continuing process to identify and interpret 'Brown Bear Habitat and Use Patterns' so that the Agency could take appropriate further development decisions. Considering the large number of visitors recorded in recent years to visit the Chilkoot River Corridor and which has generated large commercial operations,

2475-663: The Chilkoot River and the Chilkoot Lake. Another group of inhabitants of the Heines/Chilkoot River area are the Jilkoot Kwaan (Kwaan is Tlingit word meaning “to dwell”). They are a clan of the Tlingits who also owned land in the vicinity. The history of the Chilkoot River and the Chilkoot Lake is directly linked to the Chilkoot village, where the Tlingits lived, after which the river and the lake are named. This village existed near

2550-415: The Chilkoot River outlet are about 10 miles (16 km) away from the town of Haines. The river stretch is popular for coho fishing during September–October, pink salmon fishing during late July and August, and fish species of chum salmon, Dolly Varden and sockeye all through the summer and fall. The L’uknax Adi clan of Tlingit Indians, whose principal symbol is the red salmon or sockeye, traditionally owned

2625-404: The Lynn Canal. The Upper Chilkoot River originates from the glacier fields and flows in a southeasterly direction. It is a braided river and has a bed slope of 1 ft in 50 ft in the first 5 miles (8.0 km) stretch from the lake and about 1 ft in 100 ft in the balance reach of the river. The river is blocked with debris, rifles, log jams and boulders. Hence, the upper reach of

The medieval fish weir at Traeth Lligwy , Moelfre, Anglesey was scheduled as an Ancient Monument in 2002. Fish weirs were an obstacle to shipping and a threat to fish stocks, for which reasons over the course of history several attempts were made to control their proliferation. The Magna Carta of 1215 includes

2775-467: The changing of the tides. The Cree of the Hudson Bay Lowlands used weirs consisting of a fence of poles and a trap across fast flowing rivers. The fish were channelled by the poles up a ramp and into a box-like structure made of poles lashed together. The top of the ramp remained below the surface of the water but slightly above the top of the box so that the flow of the water and the overhang of

2850-721: The coast of Haida Gwaii , British Columbia. In Virginia, the Native Americans built V-shaped stone weirs in the Potomac River and James River . These were described in 1705 in The History and Present State of Virginia, In Four Parts by Robert Beverley Jr : At the falls of the Rivers, where the Water is shallow, and the Current strong, the Indians use another kind of Weir thus made. They make

2925-521: The coast of Chile. Tidal stone fish weirs are one of the ancestral fishing technologies of the seafaring Austronesian peoples . They are found throughout regions settled by Austronesians during the Austronesian expansion ( c.  3000 to 1500 BCE ) and are very similar in shape and construction throughout. In some regions they have also been adopted into fish pens or use more perishable materials like bamboo, brushwood, and netting. They are found in

The king did not exempt himself from the regulation and by the destruction of royal weirs lost 500 marks in annual income. The Lisle Papers provide

3075-520: The development of strong in-groups bonds and intense feelings of antagonism towards outsiders which in turn can facilitate group identification and affect the likelihood of fan violence. Beginning in at least the 1960s, the United Kingdom gained a reputation worldwide for football hooliganism ; the phenomenon was often dubbed the British or English Disease . However, since the 1980s and well into

3150-401: The east. There are three stretches of the river from its source. These are: the "Upper Reach of the Chilkoot River" from the lake's mouth upstream to the glacier head , which is about 30 miles (48 km); the "Chilkoot Lake" fed by the upper reach of the river extends to about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) length followed by the "Chilkoot Lower reach", which is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) till it joins

3225-479: The fish and game weir site (established by the Department of Fish and Game to enumerate the fishes), when under the influence of tides. The river, in its first one eighth mile (below the lake) has formed a pool, and then flows through a number of rapids strewn with boulders covered with moss in some stretches and the remaining part is flat but with rocky bed. The estimated average discharge in the river varies widely from

3300-488: The fishes in a canoe lined with hot rocks. Chilkoot is a Tlingit phrase which means without a storehouse . The Chilkoot band at one time stored fish packed in snow between alder or willow branches, instead of in storehouses. The population of the village dwindled over the years from a figure of 127 people (in 1880 census), just to 2 houses with 7 people in June 1990, and was finally abandoned. Another factor for desertion of

3375-474: The fishing weirs built across the river to capture eulachon . Another method adopted by the Chilkoot Tlingit for capturing salmon in the rocky shallows of the Chilkoot River was by channelizing the stream by constructing walls made of rock parallel to the river. At the upstream head of these short channels (less than 20 feet (6.1 m)) they erected a small wooden platform. A single man would then stand on

3450-485: The forests, which in turn enhance the forest and promote plant growth. The aqua fauna found in the Chilkoot River are caught by the Tlingit Alaskan tribes by using long-handled scoop nets known as go qtc (gukwC), which is 18 inches (46 cm) wide at the mouth and 10 feet (3.0 m) deep. Fireweed fiber, also called nettle or sinew, is wound round this device and the mesh is formed by tying it with mesh sticks with

Around 500 stone weirs survive in Taiwan, and millions of stone weirs used to exist through all of the islands of Micronesia. They are known as atob in the Visayas Islands of the Philippines, maai in Chuuk , aech in Yap , loko ‘umeiki in Hawaii , and pā in New Zealand , among other names. The oldest known example of

3600-429: The instigation of Thomas Cromwell , when in 1535 commissioners were appointed in each county to oversee the "putting-down" of weirs. The words of the commission were as follows: All weirs noisome to the passage of ships or boats to the hurt of passages or ways and causeys (i.e. causeways) shall be pulled down and those that be occasion of drowning of any lands or pastures by stopping of waters and also those that are

They are known as ishihibi or sukki in Kyushu , kaki in the Ryukyu Islands ; dŏksal , sŏkpangryŏm , sŏkchŏn , or wŏn in South Korea (pariticularly Jeju Island ); and chioh-ho in Taiwan. The Han Chinese also had separate ancient fish weir techniques, known as hu , which use bamboo gates or "curtains" in river estuaries. These date back to at least

3750-541: The lake is about 300 feet (91 m). It has been declared as navigable. The land around the lake (1,600 acres (650 ha)) is mostly under the control of the State. The lake area is generally windy. Canoes are the best form of boating facility for fishing on the lake as the shore line is considered difficult.

3900-693: The matches themselves. Football (soccer) and other sports hooliganism overall is rare in the United States in part because of stricter legal penalties for vandalism and physical violence, club markets having their own territory of fans, venues banning weapons, stricter security during games, and a stronger taboo on politics, class, race, and religion into the American sporting culture. Although isolated drunken fights at games do occur, they rarely escalate to major brawling comparable to Europe and Latin America . In

They used hooligan fish to make fish oil, their cooking medium, by cooking

4350-480: The past, which were mostly nets and gaff hooks, have also since been replaced with modern fishing rods and reels. The biologists of Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) constructed a fishing weir across the Lower Chilkoot River in 1976 to enumerate the movement of Sockeye fishes from the Chilkoot lake downstream. The road from the Lynn Canal to the outlet of the lake was extended and improved over

The fish species that are found in the Chilkoot River below the lake outlet are generally the sockeye salmon and Oncorhynchus nerka . In order to enumerate the salmon that pass down the river, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries established

4500-509: The ramp stopped the fish from escaping from the box. The fish were then scooped out of the box with a dip net. A large series of fish weirs, canals and artificial islands was built by an unknown pre-Columbian culture in the Baures region of Bolivia , part of the Llanos de Moxos . These earthworks cover over 500 square kilometres (190 sq mi), and appear to have supported a large and dense population around 3000 BCE. Stone fish weirs were in use 6,000 years ago in Chiloé Island off

4575-493: The river is not navigable. The upstream reaches of the Chilkoot River and all other streams which flow into the lake are barred for fishing. The Chilkoot Lake, which forms the middle stretch of the Chilkoot River, is marked on the quadrant map of the Skagway B 2 USGS in the Heines County at an altitude of 30 feet (9.1 m).
