this Indian tribe adapted by using their resources such as wood, to build their houses and to learn how to fish and gather fruits and berries because they were by water and grew lots of fruits. n

Today they would rather be called Kwakwaka'wakw, which means Kwak'wala-speaking-peoples. They lived on the Northwest coast of British Columbia, Canada. Historically, they mainly lived on fishing and food from the sea. They also did some upland hunting and gathers forest fruit and berries. This is an area very rich in resources so they were wealthy and very hierarchically stratified societies with nobles, commoners and slaves. Ornate weaving and woodwork were important crafts. Wealth and status were determined by how much you could to give away. The act of giving away your wealth was one of the main acts in a potlatch.

The climate that the Kwakiutl lived in was hot during the summer months. Winters were colder, but not too cold. They lived in the coastal areas of British Columbia.
