Those natural resource sectors have largely been the trifecta of forestry - on which the province largely thrived economically - mining and fishing, centered largely on salmon, but which started with the fur trade, most specifically the harvesting of sea otter pelts, and whaling. The initial belief in any of this resource extraction has led to a near collapse of many of the resources themselves, leading to a strong environmental activism having emerged in the province, with Vancouver-based Greenpeace being one of the first globally known environmental activism organizations. Such groups and individuals have largely espoused the opposite end of the spectrum in protection at all cost. In the middle has been the indigenous population, who have historically worked on their traditional principles of having a symbiotic relationship with nature, with certain creatures, such as whales and salmon, having a special meaning culturally. While the indigenous population has largely been caught in the middle, they have also been proverbially manhandled by various levels of government, as the indigenous peoples have strove and still strive for self-determination and management of the resources on what is considered by many, indigenous or not, on land stolen from them. Beyond the aforementioned resources, another discussed in detail is the hydroelectric industry which in its development, in an effort to satisfy the new want for a affluent society in general in the 1950s and 1960s, ended up displacing many indigenous nations especially in northern British Columbia whose ancestral lands, on which they were tied, were flooded in the process in the name of development.
