Kitasoo

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Kitasoo are one of the 14 tribes of the

Tsimshian language. Their band government is the Kitasoo/Xaixais First Nation, a member government of the Wuikinuxv-Kitasoo-Nuxalk Tribal Council
.

The anthropologist Marius Barbeau recorded in 1947 that John Starr was of the "Klemtu" tribe and held the hereditary name Lagax'niitsk.

Prehistoric culture

Some information is known about the lifestyle and diet of the

archaeological recovery. For example, the Kitasoo exploited numerous flora and fauna as food sources including the Whitebark Raspberry, Rubus leucodermis.[1]
