I'm 38 years old and i am from Neah Bay Washington U.S.A.(see makah.com for more info).Neah Bay is located on the Makah Indian reservation. Our tribe has a rich culture in music dance and language. Only a handful of people can speak our native language fluently but it is being taught in our schools and more language resources are become available for every one in our community. The best time to come to Neah bay is in the last week of august for Makah days. At Makah days you will see canoe races, traditional Makah dancing and music. We also have the Makah museum with 500 year old artifacts from a Makah village that was covered up by mudslide. In the museum we have artifacts with items from every day life and also whaling gear from 500 years ago. Currently the tribe is involved in a stalemate lawsuit with the united states government over the Makah subsistence right to hunt whales. Animal rights activist are using the marine mammal act as a tool to take away the tribes right to hunt whales. Hopefully we be on the water hunting Whales within a couple of years.
