And your answer is?

I think it might be C or A

Wicked hard drying brick in Seattle !

Tough to live in tepees on that side of the mountains as well. It is also difficult to follow salmon migrations without modern seiners.

Well, they had birch and they sure had fish.

tobacco, corn and squash,- sounds like New England - Virginia:)

Thanks guys, I got a 100% and the answer was C :)

The correct answer is option c: They used tree bark to make canoes and ate a diet based largely on fish.

To determine the correct answer, it is important to assess the options and understand the adaptations made by Native American groups of the northern west coast.

Option a states that they built their homes out of a sun-dried brick called Adobe. While Adobe homes were commonly found in other regions such as the Southwestern United States, it is not a characteristic adaptation of the Native American groups on the northern west coast.

Option b suggests that they had a nomadic culture, moving their teepees from place to place. However, Native American groups of the northern west coast did not rely on teepees or have a nomadic lifestyle. This option is therefore incorrect.

Option d states that they grew tobacco, corn, and squash. Although Native American groups of the northern west coast practiced some forms of agriculture, including the cultivation of corn and squash, tobacco was not widely grown in this region. Therefore, option d is not the best answer.

By process of elimination, we can conclude that option c is the most accurate answer. Native American groups of the northern west coast did indeed make canoes from tree bark, which allowed them to navigate the abundant waterways in their environment. Additionally, their diet primarily consisted of fish, reflecting their reliance on the ocean and rivers for sustenance.

Therefore, the correct answer is c: They used tree bark to make canoes and ate a diet based largely on fish.
