Differences And Similarities Between The Chinook And Colville

The Chinook and Colville tribes used their environment in different ways to provide food for their people. For example, in the Encyclopedia of Native American tribes, on page, 1154 and on paragraph, 8, the author states for the Chinook people “Women gathered edible plants and fruits including salmon berries, cranberries, currants, crab apples, cow parsnips, wild celery, cattails, skunk cabbage, and various roots.” This evidence proves that mostly women get the berries and fruit. In contrast, in the Encyclopedia of Native American tribes, on page, 926 on paragraph 2, the author states for the Colville people “Traveling with nearby tribes, the men hunted deer, bear, and “Special camps were set up for fishing and collecting nuts, roots and berries.”

The Chinook and Colville tribes used their environment in similar ways,to provide shelter for their people. For example, in the Encyclopedia of Native American tribes, on page 1153 paragraph 1, the author states for the Chinook people “The Chinook usually lived in large, rectangular houses with cedar plank walls and steeply sloped roofs thatched with cedar bark.” This evidence proves that they were hard working and their buildings were safe. In the same way, In the Encyclopedia of the Native American tribes on page 924 & 925, on paragraph 5, the author states for the Colville people “Their winter dwellings were about forty-five feet in diameter and were located almost completely underground.” This evidence proves that the Colville people were also hard working because of their buildings forty five feet. And that both tribes are very hard working and make sure they get the job done. This is how the Chinook and Colville people are similar using their environment for
