During the 1920s Harlan I. Smith, an archaeologist with the National Museums of Canada, documented plant and animal knowledge and use among the Gitksan, Nuxalk and Ulkatcho Carrier of British Columbia. Smith's work is the earliest, relatively comprehensive ethnobotanical study for any Tsimshianic group. This edited version of his manuscript contains information on 112 botanical species and on their traditional cultural roles among the Gitksan
