Now, I'm going to tell you how they made their clothing and their shelters. The most helpful wood resource the Kwakiutls used was Cedar Barks from special kind of trees. These trees did great support to the Kwakiutls. They mostly made their clothes out of cedar bark and some other good materials. You want to know exactly why they used cedar bark? Well, Cedar Bark doesn't rot and break down as fast as other kind of normal wood barks. The Kwakiutl's shelters were big and made out of huge logs. Almost 30 families can fit in one house! Imagine how big that will be. The Kwakiutls had symbols for each house. Do you know why they use that? Because they have so much buisness a day, they can't remember their own homes. Well, this is about shelter and their clothing.
