Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast
The indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast were of many nations and tribal affiliations, each with distinctive cultural and political identities, but they shared certain beliefs, traditions and practices, such as the centrality of salmon as a resource and spiritual symbol. The term ''Northwest Coast'' or ''North West Coast'' is used in anthropology to refer to the groups of Indigenous people residing along the coast of British Columbia, Washington state, parts of Alaska, and (depending upon who is defining the area), Oregon and northern California. The term ''Pacific Northwest'' is largely used in the American context.
Prior to the contact with Westerners, warfare between nations, and the enslaving of captives was also an enterprise common to many of the groups. At one point the region had the highest population density of a region inhabited by Aboriginal peoples in Canada.〔Aboriginal Identity (8), Sex (3) and Age Groups (12) for the Population of Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 2006 Census-20% Sample Data Click to view table notes, (BC ) Retrieved 2009-10-05.〕〔(Number and percentage of population reporting Aboriginal identity, Canada, provinces and territories, 2006 ) Retrieved 2009-10-05.〕〔(Percentage of Aboriginal people in the population, Canada, provinces and territories, 2006 ) Retrieved 2009-10-05.〕
==List of people==
The Pacific Northwest Coast at one time had the most densely populated areas of indigenous people ever recorded in Canada.〔〔〔 The land and waters provided rich natural resources through cedar and salmon, and highly structured cultures developed from relatively dense populations. Within the Pacific Northwest, many different nations developed, each with their own distinct history, culture, and society. Some cultures in this region were very similar and share certain elements, such as the importance of salmon to their cultures, while others differed. Prior to contact, and for a brief time after colonization, some of these groups regularly conducted war against each other through raids and attacks. Through warfare they gathered captives for slavery.
