Salmon was one of the main food sources in the plateau first

nations. In the summer a whole ton of salmon came to spawn

in the headwaters of the Pacific bound rivers. Lots of the

plateau fishermen used dip nets for catching their fish. In all

the salmon caught in one year few were eaten fresh. Usually

the remainders were stored after being smoked and cleaned.

The first nations did not like to waist anything!!! They also

liked to have wild vegetables such as roots and berries. One of

the most important roots was camas, a wild lily with a large

bulb. There were two kinds of camas, the kind that you don't

want to find on your dinner plate and the kind that the first

nations used a whole bunch. The one you don't want to find

on your dinner plate is poisonous and the other one was the

really good camas. Another root pretty special to the first

nations was the wild onion, or lillooet. Lillooet was the inner

portion of the skunk cabbage and water parsnip roots, which

could be eaten fresh. Another popular vegetable was the inner

bark of the evergreen and poplar.
