In the Pacific Northwest tribes like the Tlingit Did extremely well without extensive large scale farming, they were fishermen and hunter gatherers. these tribes lived well for thousands of years with that lifestyle until European contact because they were not overpopulated.
They dried their catches of salmon and stored it just like farmer store their grain.
These tribes all built fine buildings, canoes, and great art without being dependent on intensive agriculture.

That is correct. They lived in an expecially abundant area.
They were pretty much permanent in their location.
That is very unusual for hunter gatherers, who usually have to move around to follow the game.
Perhaps it should be considered a hybrid of farming and hunter-gathering.
