The development of both Plateau and Northwest Coast societies was most influenced by **their access to food**.
In the Plateau region, communities relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering, particularly salmon, roots, and game. In contrast, Northwest Coast societies had abundant access to marine resources as well as land-based resources, leading to a complex economy and social structure centered around these food sources. The availability and management of food resources were central to their cultural practices, social organization, and economic systems.
