i just cant seem to find anything on this.
"Salmon are an extremely important animal to both the lifestyle and the spirituality of many Native American cultures, especially the tribes of the Northwest Coast and the Columbia River. Like buffalo, salmon willingly give themselves up as food for humans in many Northwest Native American myths, and therefore these fish hold a special position of honor and respect. There are many taboos and other tribal rules regarding salmon, so as to avoid offending them, and special Salmon Dances and First Salmon Ceremonies are celebrated at the beginning of salmon fishing season throughout the Pacific Northwest region. In Native American artwork and literature, salmon are often used as a symbol of determination, renewal, and prosperity."
-a random quote pulled from first page of google but when visitng America i got the impression that salmon was very important to them. i find it hard to believe that the same people who would ride on horses without saddles and live so long would eat something so bad for them. as for the Inuits, they ate a very unique diet so i don't think they are a good example.
