Welcome to our blog Güüdisk, by Lisa Girbav and Stephen Kingshott. We work hard to harvest our traditional Ts’msyen (Tsimshian) foods, and eat what we harvest. This is our space to share our experiences harvesting, preserving and preparing (eating!) the foods that are available in our territory. In the process, we hope to encourage other young Ts’msyen to get out and harvest!
