one reason the Hopi

were successful farmers

one reason the Hopi

were successful farmers

they grew a special

type of corn that

had long roots

to reach the water underground

one way the Tlingit

got the things they needed

they gathered roots and berries,

and hunted deer, elk, beaver, and bear

in the dense forests that lined the shore

one way the Tlingit

got the things they needed

they took advantage of the salmon run

when they went to nearby rivers

where one family could

 catch as much as 1,000 pounds of fish

which could be smoked and stored

for meals throughout the year

one way the Tlingit

got the things they needed

they got most of their food

from the sea

where they caught fish,

porpoises, seals, and whales

one way the Tlingit

got the things they needed

since they had direct water

routes from the coast to

other parts of the country,

they were able to trade

surplus food for other goods they needed
