Native Americans indigenous people first used maple to harvest sap and produce maple syrup and maple syrup. Other trees like white birch can also be excavated, but maple produces the most abundant and concentrated sap. Maple syrup supplies minor amounts of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. These are excellent sources of riboflavin and manganese. Please use cautiously, replace more refined sugar in cereals, sauces, seasoning, baked goods. Coffee is also delicious.

Maple syrup was first collected and used by native people in eastern Canada and northeastern United States of America. Canada is the world's largest producer of maple syrup. The origin of the production of maple syrup is not clear, but the first syrup was made by repeatedly freezing the collected maple sap, removing the ice and concentrating the remaining juice sugar. Maple syrup is one of the most commonly eaten origins in Canada. Pacific salmon is an important food source for indigenous people and certain marine mammals in most areas of Canada's west coast and the northwestern Pacific coast. Squid is freshly eaten during spawning or drying, and oysters that can be stored all year round are produced. The latter food is often called "salmon dried". In British Columbia's indoor Salish language, whipped soap berry known as xoosum (HOO-shum, "Indian Ice Cream") is consumed like an ice cream or cranberry cocktail.
