How did the kwakiutl save salmon in the winter?

The Kwakiutl people traditionally saved salmon for winter by employing various preservation techniques. They would dry the fish in the air or smoke it over a fire, which allowed them to store it for long periods. Additionally, they often used cedar baskets to pack the dried salmon, ensuring it remained edible during the harsh winter months. This resourceful approach helped sustain their diet and culture throughout the year.
