The Food of The Alsea People

In the Alsea territory they ate a lot of things. Out near the coast the main food source is salmon. They ate it dried, cooked smoked or even raw! They didn't just eat salmon they ate seal, salmon, sea lion, shellfish, clams, and scallops. They ate all of this because they lived right next to the ocean. Out in the mountains they ate a lot of different things than the coast. They collected berries, eggs, and plants. They hunted elk, bear, mountain goat, deer, wolf, and beaver. As you can see they ate a wide variety of foods. They didn't eat what we eat now!




I got this information from wikipedia and The Encyclopedia of Native Americans.
