Title Description

These people of the coast have many names: Tlinget, Haida, Salish, Tsimshian. Different names and different languages, yet they share a common background of survival along the rugged coastlines and dense forests. The coastal Indians fished the rivers and streams, hunted and trapped in the forest, built long houses from cedar and carved many intricate items such as totem poles and masks. This video provides a portrait of these people in their day to day lives.
