People occupied the territory that eventually became the United States for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. Native American peoples formed diverse societies with unique languages and cultures. Some Native groups lived in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, in parts of present-day Oregon, Washington, and Canada.

Look at the images of land in the region. Then answer the question below.

Rivers full of fish run from the mountains to the sea. Lush forests with plentiful plants and animals grow throughout the region.

The vast Pacific Ocean offers a wide variety of fish, shellfish, and other resources.

Based on the images above, what can you infer about how Native Pacific Northwest people interacted with their environment?

They farmed in wide, flat plains far from the coast, growing wheat and raising cattle.

They relied on natural resources from forests, rivers, and the ocean for food and other materials.

They adapted to a harsh desert climate by using irrigation to grow many different crops.

They migrated long distances to hunt bison, since there were few local resources on the coast.
