“Interestingly, despite plentiful crab, clams and oysters, they would only be eaten in times of starvation”

Possibly because they didn’t have butter.

They didn’t have cows or goats they were so primitive. Speaking of which, the Skykomish were cannibals

Food and shelter were so plentiful that they had no incentive to rise above hunter gatherer life style - sort of like their modern reservation descendants. Every year they would hold potlaches where the people with a lot of goods would burn them to show how rich they were - sort of like their modern tribal ruling families
