1 The People Of The Northwest Coast
By Jack.H, Zainab, John.A, Magnolia, and Elinor

2 Physical Features John
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.

3 Climate Magnolia 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.

4 Natural Resources Zainab
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.

5 Housing Elinor 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.

6 Clothing jack 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.

7 Arts & Crafts jack 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.
