Many aquatic foraging societies, such as the Salish of the Pacific Northwest coast, are unique among foragers because they: A) are sedentary with some social stratification.
B) are partly horticulturalist and are egalitarian.
C) are nomadic for only half the year.
D) hunt but don’t forage.
The correct answer is: A) are sedentary with some social stratification.
Many aquatic foraging societies, including the Salish, developed permanent villages due to the abundance of natural resources like fish and shellfish. This sedentary lifestyle allowed for the establishment of more complex social structures and social stratification, unlike more mobile foraging groups that tend to be egalitarian.
