As fishing and hunting became easier due to new technologies, one clever fisherman devised a system of property rights for fishing spots. However, this led to social problems as there was not enough space for all fishermen. Wealthy fish chiefs offered jobs to the propertyless but paid low wages, leaving workers' families without enough food. The tribe then implemented a tax system and government assistance to help the unemployed.
