Transportation

The main method of transportation throughout the Interior was walking before Europeans introduced Horses. They would have well developed trails throughout the land.
Bridges were also developed and build over deep river canyons, using simple log structures.
During the winter, people used snowshoes to travel between villages. This would be a lot faster than walking without them, since they would not sink into the deep snow.
On the coast, people mainly used to canoes as a method of transportation. These would be made of cedar, or if that wasn't available at the time, birch or spruce. Canoes were up to 18 feet long, and could travel long distances in stormy seas. They could carry large cargo or hold as many as 20 passengers
