'''Codex canadiensis''', the name of an illustrated book on the subject of the native peoples and wildlife in Canada, was written in or about 1700 by a French missionary priest called Louis Nicolas. This document, today preserved by the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is handwritten and hand-drawn on parchment in ink and watercolours. The ''Codex canadiensis'' provides extremely valuable documentation of the people, flora, and fauna of the New World as European explorers were first discovering them.
