Detailed explanation-1: -The dwellings of the Northwest Coast Indians were rectilinear structures that were built of timber or planks and, except for those in northwestern California, were usually quite large, as the members of a corporate “house” typically lived together in one building.
Detailed explanation-2: -Totem poles are a tradition of Indian tribes from the Northwest Coast Region such as Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian. They are mostly carved from large red cedar trees.
Detailed explanation-3: -These groups were hunter gatherers, using their boats to hunt a lot of the sea life including whales, seals, and otters. The native freshwater salmon were a major part of their diet, and was so important that they had special ceremonies for when the salmon returned from the ocean to spawn.
Detailed explanation-4: -Totem poles are monuments created by First Nations of the Pacific Northwest to represent and commemorate ancestry, histories, people, or events. Totem poles are typically created out of red cedar, a malleable wood relatively abundant in the Pacific Northwest, and would be erected to be visible within a community.
