Explain the meaning of the word civilization

The Yurok Tribe, often self-described as salmon people, inhabit the most downriver lands of the Klamath River in what is now the northwest corner of California. They have managed and relied upon the abundance of salmon and other aquatic species in the Klamath River since time immemorial. The Yurok people’s traditional subsistence diet and practices derived from the river and coast are a vital part of their cultural identity, creating an intricate connection between them, the species, river, land, and seasons.

Explanation:

The river is the lifeline of the Yurok people. It provides the majority of the Yurok’s food supply. Food resources provided from the ocean are also important to Yurok people, as well as foods offered from terrestrial areas. Together all these sources supply food for Yurok throughout the year with various fish runs returning, seaweed blooming, shellfish spawning, and fruits ripening during different times.
