"Shell Indians" is a term used to refer to various indigenous groups in North America who relied on shellfish as a significant food source. These groups include indigenous peoples from the Pacific Northwest, California, and Southeastern United States who lived near Coastlines and rivers where shellfish such as clams, oysters, and mussels were abundant. They often incorporated shells into their material culture and trade networks.
