This is really in the style of the Pacific Northwest Coast Native Indian. These tribes lived in the coastal area from Seattle, Washington north along the British Columbia Coast to the southern tip of Alaska. The Inuits lived along the the Northern coast of Canada and Alaska near or in the Arctic Circle.

The tribes of the Pacific Northwest Coast are associated into 4 art styles:

South Coast Art Style of the Coast Salish

West Coast Art Style of the Makah and Nuu-chah-nulth

Mid Coast Art Style of the Kwakwaka'wakw and Oweekeno

North Coast Art Style of the Nuxalk, Heiltsuk, Haida, Coast Tsimshian, Haisla, Gitksan, Haigani Haida, Nisga'a, Tlingit and Tahltan
