The Makah Museum in the town of Neah Bay, Washington is recognized as the nation's finest tribal museum. Located 50 miles north of Olympic National Park on the most northwest point of the continental United States, the Makah Cultural and Research Center opened to the public in 1979 after what was perhaps the most significant archeological find in North America. • • In the 1970's, an archeological dig on the Ozette site unearthed eight Makah homes that were centuries old; perfectly preserved and covered by a mudslide five hundred years ago. • • With 55,000 artifacts recovered, the Makah Museum is the sole keeper of these archeological discoveries, recreating the Makah's rich history as whalers, hunters, artists, and warriors. • • The museum includes the Makah's whaling culture, the skeleton of a whale, longboats, dug-out canoes, hunting weapons and a full scale replica of a fifteenth century longhouse used by the ancient tribe. • • To learn more, visit makah.com. • • Filmed in high definition, this video is a bonus feature on Finley-Holiday's Olympic National Park DVD and is available on location and from finleyholiday.com. • • Finley Holiday Productions • http://finleyholidayproductions.com
