Detailed explanation-1: -Diets were comprised of mainly berries, fish, and mammals with some herbs, birds, and shellfish supplementing the staples. Archeological records have found around 70 different plants consumed by the Salish tribe alone, some for flavor, some nutrition, and some additional health benefits.
Detailed explanation-2: -What effect did settlers have on the American Indian tribes of the Northwest territory? Settlers encroached on Am Indian lands and war broke out between them. What role did trappers and traders play in opening up the West? They blazed trails used by later settlers, built trading relationships with Am.
Detailed explanation-3: -Contact with the new settlers brought about serious disruptions to the native way of life. The gold rush of 1848 brought still more devastation. Violence, disease and loss overwhelmed the tribes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most groups built villages near waterways or the coast. The principal fishing sites were along rivers and streams in which salmon ran in the fall.
