Which of the following the peoples of the pacific northwest develop a complex culture?

the creation of totem poles

the custom of potlatches

the harsh climate

the abundance of food sources

The correct answer is D) the abundance of food sources.

The element that helped the peoples from the Pacific Northwestern develop a complex culture was the abundance of food sources.

The tribes that inhabited the Pacific West had their own culture and traditions, but they respected each other. Among the many tribes on that region, they were the Chinook, Aida, Nisga’a, Nuxalk, and Willapa.  Basically, two factors allowed these Native American tribes to prosper during long periods: the mild wheater in the region and the abundance of resources such as water, food, trees, lumber, and animals.
