The Pacific Northwest is an area of North America that includes the American states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho and the Canadian province of British Columbia.

The region has been populated by millennia, mainly due to the abundance of natural resources, in particular water, wildlife and river fisheries. This is the main reason why indigenous people of these areas developed complex sedentary societies, but remained hunter-gatherers. This area is one of the few where hunter-gatherer societies have been able to develop complex hunting and fishing systems, large sedentary villages, large houses, hierarchies and systems of social rank and many other characteristics of advanced cultures.
