Description
The Makah have lived on the coast of Washington State for approximately four thousand years. They relied on the sea and the nearby forests to provide them with food, shelter, and tools. This book explores their traditions and beliefs. One of their traditions, which has become a source of much debate today, is whale hunting. The book also looks at how the Makah culture has survived despite outside influences.
