Museum in Washinton.Perhaps the finest tribal museum and research center in the United States, this site is devoted to promoting the linguistic and cultural resources of the Makah (Qwi-dich-cha-at) people. It also houses the Ozette collection, one of the most comprehensive records of pre-contact life in the Pacific Nothwest.
Ozette was one of several villages of the Makah people. In in first half of the 1500's a landslide at Ozette buried several timber long houses, preserving thousands of artifacts of daily life.
See the Olympic Peninsula Community Museum website and the website of the Makah Research and Cultural Center for directions and hours.
