The pre-Columbian American peoples in the Pacific Northwest

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pre-Columbian American peoples in the Pacific Northwest were known for their reliance on the fishing of salmon as their principle occupation. They also built permanent settlements along the coast and rivers in the region. While they had some political organization, it was not as sophisticated as the Maya and Aztecs. They were also not necessarily more peaceful than other pre-Columbian societies. The Inuit, on the other hand, lived in the Arctic regions of North America and did not inhabit the Pacific Northwest.
