The Gabrielino tribe lived along coastal regions in California near the Chumash tribe, across the San Gabriel mountains and along rivers. They built dome-shaped stick houses made of materials similar to their canoes, using bowls and stones. Their diet consisted primarily of seafood like salmon, as well as bear and shells/rocks from the local environment. The Gabrielino utilized natural resources for basket weaving, crushing acorns in baskets, and trading handcrafted wood sculptures.
