Summary:The data were collected by searching written stories for nouns that correspond to plants or plant products. A quantitative assessment of the number of nouns that refer to plants within a select sample of Inupiaq and Gwitch'in stories was produced. : Purpose: This dataset was developed with the intention of gauging the relative presence of plants or types of plants (eg. forbs, shrubs, etc.) within a selection of the stories and legends of the Gwitch'in and Inupiaq peoples. All stories were published, and most originated from actual conversations with Gwitch'in and Inupiaq elders. Literature was also reviewed, including modern fiction, written by modern Gwitch'in and Inupiaq authors. : Summary: Not Applicable
