Plants have been used for centuries in the day-to-day lives of the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket people for food. They were used through trial and error to meet our daily needs for nourishment.

This site outlines twenty plants that are commonly used by the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket people. Thanks goes to the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Elders and Ethnobotany Crew for assisting us in our research for the traditional use of these plants.

The plants have been divided into four sections. Use the links below to find out more about Ktunaxa/Kinbasket ethnobotany.
