Makah Indian Tribe

The Makah Cultural and Research Center’s Archives/Library Departments will collaborate with the Makah Language Program and Education Department, as well as the Makah Tribal Council’s Recovery Service and Senior Citizens Program to collectively work on the “Empowering Journey Project” to provide a path to wellness for Makah Tribal and community members in the Cape Flattery region of Washington. The program will support staff to increase access through the cataloging and transcription of newspaper collections, in addition to developing and implementing Makah language materials and workshops. Through the connection to their genealogy, ancestral history, and Makah place names, Makah community members will benefit by gaining a deeper understanding of their cultural roots and identity to achieve their goal of a vibrant, healthy community.
