Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The map shows that the native populations in the Northwest and present-day California relied heavily on fishing and gathering resources from the ocean. There is no indication that maize cultivation was a significant part of their diet. Geographic factors, such as the proximity to the ocean, were important in their way of life. The map also shows examples of both permanent and mobile settlements, so neither option is exclusively true.
