Makah Indian Tribe

The Makah Cultural and Research Center will research historic documents, people, and resources and compile information using modern technology to relay historic evidence of tribal cultural landscape and encourage continued use in the “Yesterday and Today” project. The project will provide the public with research opportunities in genealogy and tribal cultural landscapes, and offer researchers a connection to place and a deeper understanding of resources and cultural uses. The compiled information will be available to academic researchers and on a more broad scale to tribal departments to assist in resource management, while genealogical information will be shared in workshops to strengthen self-identity and family ties. The educational component will provide workshops designed to provide hands-on learning of traditional natural resource utilization and computer classes designed to enhance individual research skills and presentations.
