Northwest Culture

Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest inhabited the narrow coastal area stretching from Alaska's Prince William Sound to Northern California. Extensive mountain ranges isolated them from the continent's interior. This culture region abuts the Far West and Subarctic culture regions.

Northwest Native Americans were generally peaceful, though raids between villages were not uncommon. The Northwest economy was based on abundant natural resources, especially fish and wood. The people were atypically wealth-conscious, with a highly stratified society and a distinctive culture. Their lifestyle was organized and stable. They would later be influenced by European explorers, trappers and settlers.
