Were the Western Plains Indians or the Pacific Northwest Indians more dependent on one natural resource?

The pacific northwest indians had not just a variety of food and metals, but seafood too. I think the Western Plains Indians were more dependent on specific/limited variety of natural resources.

well...you wouldn't survive without natural resources .....so i think both Western Plains Indians and the Pacific Northwest Indians were equally dependent on natural resources.

The Western Plains Indians were more dependent on the bison, which was crucial for their sustenance and way of life. On the other hand, the Pacific Northwest Indians relied heavily on salmon but also had access to a variety of other resources. Therefore, the Plains Indians had a stronger reliance on one specific resource compared to the diverse resource utilization by the Pacific Northwest Indians.
