vikings of the Pacific coast? that sounds interesting....
-- the Haida were great seaborn raiders in the old days, hitting as far south as the central Californian coast. The Potlatch tribes were all extremely warlike originally.
The neo-Haida are of very mixed origin but retain a lot of the mythology, which is a common pattern. Most of the "Indian" groups in post-Change North America, at least away from the most remote area, are similar; with a lot of white-eye genes in the woodpile, and a lot of neo-Indian tribal trappings taken out of vague folk-memories, books and movies. As well as some real survivals, of course.
Sort of like the PPA's bastard feudalism, or the Mackenzies' pseudo-Celtic stuff, or the Merrie England trappings over in Britain, or the Renaissance revival tone of most of the Kingdom of Sicily and the Umbrian League.
