The Northwest Coast Indians lived in Oregon, Washington up to Alaska. They have a lot of rain. They lived by the lakes, Pacific Ocean, rivers, and forests.
Fish, Fish, Fish! The Northwest Indians ate this a ton. They ate whale and other seafood. They dipped everything in fish oil. They ate so much blubber (fat). They didn't eat bread or vegetables. They ate so many fish eggs. They ate deer. They ate dried clams. Hope you learned about Native American foods.
The Northwest Coast Indians had no windows, do you have any windows? These indians have plank houses that are 100 feet long. Wow! They had a hole in the roof called a smoke hole to let smoke out. In front of their house there is a totem pole. They used it for telling stories about their family. Their door was very very low. They had to bend down to get in their house.
Do you wonder what they Northwest Coast Indians wore? The indians wore dresses and skirts. Both genders wore capes made out of animal fur. They also wore seashell jewelry. Chiefs wore headdresses. They wore no shoes so they were barefoot everywhere. They wore basket hats to stay safe from the sun and stay dry from the rain. They also wore rain cloths to stay dry.
