The traditional territories of what is currently known as BC are home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people who are living away from home either in urban centres or rural and remote communities. Approximately 80% of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people are currently living, working, and studying in urban and off-reserve areas. 

Traditional foods for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples varies widely based on geography, climate, and local flora and fauna.
