Physical FeaturesJohn
The Northwest Coast native Americans lived in between the mighty Appalachian Mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean. Forests of cedar lay scattered along their territory, with long
elegant rivers flowing through.
ClimateMagnolia
The weather was usually mild, with a warm climate, coming with the occasional rainy day, along with snow descending from the
heavens in the winter.
Natural ResourcesZainab
The native Americans had an incredible abundance of fish, alongside their amazingly adaptable cedar wood and wool. They also had many fruits and vegetables to gather, although they never needed agriculture.
HousingElinor
You would live in a large wooden house, made out of the treasured cedar wood with a low doorway and incredibly high ceiling with the
beds built into the walls.
Clothingjack
Women wore skirts made from cedar bark, and men wore breech clothes or nothing. Both
wore basket hats to protect from the sun. In rain, you would wear a fur cape or blanket made out of cedar bark. In cold, you would
wear heavy furs.
Arts & Craftsjack
Many women learned to weave cedar roots and bark, shaping them into baskets, blankets, or clothes. Others learned to cook. Men made
beautiful carvings, creating delicately crafted masks, totem poles, and canoes.
