  4. The Chinook Tribe • The Chinooks were a tribe that are known for their trading. • They developed a language for trading so that all Indian tribes could understand the business. • The Chinooks traded fish, shells, furs, oil, boats, masks and jewelry. • Their villages were homes made of rows of long wooden houses with no windows. This is called a pit house.

  5. Makahs Tribe • Makahs were coastal people (they lived by the ocean) and hunted whales at sea. • They made spears and went to sea in their wooden boats to hunt whales for food and oil. • The Makahs lived in wooden houses along the shore.

  6. Kwakiutl Tribe • Kwakiutls lived near the Pacific Ocean. • This tribe only captured whales if the whales washed up on shore. They did not hunt them. • They fished. • The Kwakiutls also lived in wooden homes on the shore. • The Kwakiutls were some of the best woodcarvers. They made totem poles. • Totem poles are wood carvings that • show a family’s history.

  7. The Inuit Tribe • The Inuit lived in the Arctic. The land was a frozen tundra. • It was too cold to farm so these people got most of their food and shelter from animals they hunted like seal, walrus, and caribou. • Some Inuit built igloos to live in and others made tents made of thick animal skin.
