The North West Indians lived from Alaska to California. In that area they had thick forests that rose sharply from the beaches. There are giant pine, redwood, and Douglas fir trees. There are also are berry bushes, good natural resources and a mild humid climate.
Their food consisted of whale, salmon, seals sea otters, and sea lions. They used sixty feet long cedar dugout canoes, which held up to sixty men. They would spear the animals out at sea and tow the animals back with the rope that was attached to the spear. They also hunted bear, caribou, deer, elk, and moose on land for food. They gathered things like nuts and berries also.
Their houses were built of large post for a frame and then covered with planked sides and roof. Several families lived in one house.
They made their clothes from skins and bark, woven together with dog or goat hair.
One of the special things the Northwest Indians had was a potlatch. During potlatch, the host would give away or destroy valued things to show how rich they are. Some of the things he would give away would be canoes, blankets, boxes, masks, slaves and more. The most valued thing was a copper sheet hammered into a shield. If he wanted a rival to try and outdo them in a potlatch he would destroy his shield. The totem pole was also special to them, it was common to show pictures or faces painted or carved on.

Orangutan means “person of the forest” or “wild man”. They are very intelligent, in fact scientists believe that they are the smartest land animal. In the forest they use sticks to get at their food and eat with, so they can also use a fork and a spoon .If they wear clothes they can learn to wash them. If they want something they can learn to use sign language. In zoos they are know as “escape artists” with using clever ways to get out.
They eat 300 different kinds of food, so here are a few, nuts, berries, young shots of Mangosteen, bananas, jackfruit, grapes, climbing bamboo, carrots, Rambutan, peas, potatoes, and breadfruit. With all that food whenever they’re awake, they’re eating
The Borneo orangutans are heavy-set with coarse orange-red hair and gray skin. Their hair is more than a foot long hair on their shoulders and back. They have huge cheek flaps, and as they get older they get pebbly skin on their chest. This makes them look like a big, old, boxer.
The Sumatra orangutans are narrower faced, taller and lighter colored. The males often have long flowing mustaches and beards. Which make them look like an old wise man.
They both types mate once a year and nurses for four years.
Orangutans live in the islands of Indonesia, Sumatra, and Borneo. They make a bed in the trees by pulling branches together. They live for about forty years in the wild, but with medical help they have lived for fifty-five years. Less than 4500 are alive today. Scientists believe they are slowly dying out because their forests are getting smaller.
