A hundred years ago, CAFN people pursued a subsistence-hunting and fishing lifestyle. Caribou, moose, Dall's sheep, mountain goat, gophers and small mammals were hunted and trapped for food and clothing. The annual runs up the Tatshenshini of sockeye, coho and chinook salmon were a time of plenty and for celebrations. People would walk from as far away as Aishihik, 200 kilometres north, to the settlements on the Tatshenshini River and its tributaries. Resident fish species in the lakes and rivers were also an important food source and were taken throughout the year. In addition to this abundance, berries were also gathered by the women and preserved in grease to add variety to the diet.
