One example is the English blacksmith John R. Jewitt, who spent 3 years as a captive of the Nootka people on the Pacific Northwest Coast in 1802-1805.
Among other peoples also, including the Kwakwaka'wakw and Nuu-chah-nulth, the seeds are burned as an incense at funerals and chewed by singers to ease their throats.
The Nuu-chah-nulth (also known as the Nootka) believe that physical endurance is the most important quality in young women.
In 1811 the trading ship Tonquin was blown up in Clayoquot Sound when its efforts to trade were turned into an attack by Nuu-chah-nulth in revenge for an insult by the ship's captain.

It is named after the name given by the Nuu-chah-nulth of Vancouver Island's west coast to Canadian artist Emily Carr.
The Tlingit have kushtaka, or land-otter people; the Haida have gagit, drowned spirit ghosts; the Nootka (Nuu-Chah-Nulth) have pukubts, a name which seems etymologically related to the Kwakiutl bakwas, as is the Tsimshian ba'wis.
The Nuu-chah-nulth, with significant cooperation from environmental groups, eventually erected a blockade, preventing MacMillan Bloedel from logging the island.
Similarly the closely related Ditidaht of the Ditidaht First Nation and the Makah of the other side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are not members of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council.
Wat Nong Pa Pong, for example, is a Buddhist forest monastery in the Thai Forest Tradition, which was established by Venerable Achan Chah Subhaddo in 1954.
Juan de Fuca was probably the first European to meet Wakashan-speaking peoples, and Juan Perez visited the Nuu-chah-nulth people in 1774.
In the novel, the preciousness of the substance to contemporary American society is emphasized when the fictional narrator notes that whale oil is "as rare as the milk of queens." John R. Jewitt, an Englishman who wrote a memoir about his years as a captive of the Nootka people on the Pacific Northwest Coast in 1802–1805, describes how what he calls train oil was used as a condiment with every dish, even strawberries.
