Hey now, I think you admitted that you were even older than I am!
Very few people know those obscure historical facts about our area. But you forgot to mention the "rest of the story". The overfishing was in large part due to a new law by the elders of the tribe that required that no member own more than 8 laying hens per dwelling, and roosters had to be culled upon the first crow. The chicken population dwindled and the natives turned to their only other source of protein, fish.
Luckily one lone wise woman had hidden a mute rooster away in her root storage den and had continued the line of chickens. These were later mistakenly identified as ducks due to their strange appearance from inbreeding for many generations. This creature is now known as the the geoduck.
Yep, you heard it here first.
