How did geography affect early people in North America?

Explanation: The peoples of the Northwest settled along the West Coast of North America. The warm ocean currents helped keep the climate in this region more moderate. The Northwest peoples lived off of the ocean and rivers. They fished and hunted wildlife. Their lands were covered with thick forests. These forests provided another source of food such as wild berries, nuts and fruits.
