Hunting

Hunting was one of the main food resources for natives. Different regions had different animals to hunt, but no matter the animal, hunters had to have highly developed tracking skills and understand the animals behavior.

Moose, caribou and deer were the primary sources for meat for many interior people. The northeast and Northern Interiors had the greatest density of moose in the world.

Deer were the major animal resource used by the people of the Southern Interior

Though coastal peoples major food resources came from the water, their most common animals to hunt were the black bears and black - tailed deer.

Individuals hunted mainly with bows and arrows, but more often, people worked together to hunt whole herds of caribou or deer
