wall description: 
Marine and river resources were crucial on the Northwest Coast-particularly salmon, a staple food, and fur-bearing sea otters and seals, the latter valued for their meat, blubber, and skin. The clubs used to kill otters and seals are often carved to represent such marine predators as the sea lion or  the killer whale.
