As a coastal people, they would have depended heavily on seafood. The most famous example is salmon, but shellfish, crab, halibut, ling cod, and even seals were also eaten. They also would have gathered great quantities of berries from the forest in Summer/Fall, such as salmonberry, huckleberry, salal berry, wild blackberry, wild raspberry, indian plum, crabapple, and others. They would have gathered wild greens such as stinging nettles, cattail shoots, and the like as well. Cattail roots and other tubers were a part of the diet, as were hazelnuts and other nuts. During the winter months, when food was more scarce, they would have hunted elk, deer, and black bear.
