Final answer:

Northwest Coast societies were complex with stratified social structures and reliance on salmon, while Plateau societies were more egalitarian.


Explanation:

Northwest Coast Indigenous societies were complex, with highly stratified social structures that included nobles, commoners, and slaves, whereas Plateau Indigenous societies were more egalitarian with less concentrated wealth distinctions.

Northwest Coast peoples had societies characterized by potlatch ceremonies as a means of wealth redistribution and a reliance on salmon as a crucial food resource, while Plateau Indigenous societies lived in villages by rivers and streams, supported themselves through hunting, gathering, and fishing but did not have as complex social hierarchies.

In summary, while Northwest Coast Indigenous societies exhibited complexity, stratification, and reliance on salmon, Plateau Indigenous societies were more egalitarian, less densely populated, and had different social structures.
