Makah Tribe
The Makah (Kwih-dich-chuh-ahtx, "People of the Cape") are a Wakashan-speaking people of the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula in present-day Washington State. They are the only Wakashan-speaking tribe in the contiguous United States and are renowned as skilled maritime hunters and fishers. The Makah's inclusion in Lewis and Clark era treaty records reflects the broad scope of American diplomatic engagement with Indigenous nations across the continent during the early 19th century. The Makah Tribe is headquartered at Neah Bay, Washington.
