E. of Sitka."This object is on loan to the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, from 2010 through 2027.Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=515, retrieved 4-24-2012: Soapberry spoon. Soapberries are plentiful in the upriver territories of the Nisga'a and Gitxsan, who traditionally traded them to people on the coast. The berries were dried, whipped with water into foam, sweetened, and served with flat, beautifully carved hardwood spoons. During an 1858 feast that marked a high-ranking girl's initiation into the Destroyer secret society, her father ordered two large canoes to be carried into the house and filled with soapberries, frothed with black molasses. The guests were unable to finish the huge serving. "The Tsimshian word for soapberry is "as." You whip it up, add a little sugar, maybe some salmonberries or blueberries." - David Boxley (Tsimshian), 2009.
