The Northwest Coast Native Americans relied on hoofed animals such as black-tailed deer, elk, mountain goat and bighorn sheep as sources of food and materials. All parts of these animals were used for a variety of purposes: meat for food, tallow for medicine, sinew for cordage, bones for tools, hooves for rattles, horns for bowls or spoons, antlers for wedges or flint-knapping tools and hides for clothing or even armor.
