The Pacific Northwest Indians relied on the plants and animals of the forests and oceans for survival, telling their stories through totem poles and instruments made from hides. Their tribes were divided into chiefs, nobles, ordinary people and slaves, celebrating through potlatches while hunting seals, salmon, sea otters, whales, deer, elk and bear for food from the sea and forest.

We relied on the surrounding plants and animals for survival
We protected our environment We lived near the beautiful ocean We also lived near the green forests (Chorus) Pacific Northwest Indians Yesiree! We created Totem Poles to tell our stories We made our instruments out of animal hides Our tribes were dived by chiefs, nobles, ordinary people, and slaves We had celebrations called potlatches (Chorus) Pacific Northwest Indians Yesiree We hunted from Sea Seals, Salmon, Sea Otters, and Whales too We had an endless supply of fish We also hunted Deer, Elk, and Bear in the forest (Chorus) Pacifc Northwest Indians Yesiree! We use natural resources in the region where we live We made clothing out of animals skins too Women made bark skirts Men wore the garments to hunt (Chorus) Pacific Northwest Indians Yesiree!
