The Coast Salish and the tribes to the North once had a kind of predator-prey relationship. The Northerners saw the Salish as potential slaves and the Salish were always fleeing their tormentors. There were also peaceful interactions, though, including marriage, trade, and possible alliances.

If the captives taken in raids were not soon ransomed, they would become slaves. If enslaved they could be quickly sold to other distant tribes, which meant that getting home free was very difficult. Escaping did not ensure freedom either: a slave might escape one tribe, only to be captured by another when fleeing.
