Learn about history of Northwest Coast Indians - 3 views

  • The Northwest Coast Indians did not live in teepees like other tribes, but built longhouses out of wide cedar planks. These longhouses could be very large and if it was built by the tribe, the chief was in charge of assigning who lived in each longhouse. If it was built by an individual, he and his family lived in that longhouse. However, if the owner of the house died, it was often burned to the ground for fear of the owner’s spirit haunting the family if they remained in the house.

Ancient America: Northwest Coast Woodworking Tools - 0 views

  • To split the cedar into planks which could be used for building houses or boxes, a small cut was made in the log. Wedges of bone or antler were then inserted into the cut and pounded in with a maul. Using wedges of graded sizes, the log was then split into planks.
  • The people made two basic kinds of stone hammers: the hand maul in which the handle or grip was carved into the stone and the stone hammer which had a wooden handle. Shown below are some of the different stone hammers and mauls which are on display at the Royal British Columbia Museum.

      I remember learning that Indians didn't waste anything according to hunting, on this page it says that they hunted bears so I figure that they used the bear fur for warmth and the bones for weapons, so did they actually EAT BEAR MEAT?!?!
