Makah Indian Tribe

The Makah Indian Tribe of the Makah Indian Reservation will increase interest and knowledge about Makah culture and history through educational services and opportunities for Makahs, Neah Bay community members, patrons, and distant learners. A Makah historian will provide four virtual bilingual lectures and record them to be added to the Library's archives. This project will also digitize and edit at least 40 analog videos, edit at least 70 hours of video recordings into 5-minute segments, and record 12 elders to capture their knowledge and ideas. Project staff will upload videos on the free web-based Makah portal that learners can access on any device and make them available on DVDs for learners who do not have access to computers or internet.
