What did the coastal tribes eat?

Coastal tribes primarily relied on the abundant resources of the ocean and nearby waterways for their diet. They consumed a variety of seafood, including fish, shellfish, and sea mammals, which were often supplemented with plants, berries, and nuts foraging from nearby forests and shorelines. Many tribes also practiced seasonal hunting and gathering to take advantage of the diverse ecosystems. Their diets were rich in protein and reflected the seasonal availability of resources.
