The Lake Babine Nation people lived along the shores of Lake Babine and downstream along the Lake Babine River. They were organized into clans such as the Beaver/Grouse clan and Frog/Marten Clan, who held responsibility for allocated fishing sites. Prior to contact with Europeans, the Babine people relied heavily on salmon and engaged in drying and smoking vast quantities of sockeye salmon. They harvested various wild foods including salmon, trout, fish, moose, deer, rabbits, bears, grouse, ducks, berries and used plant roots for medicine and tea.
