Makah Museum Cultural and Research Center
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.

Cape Flattery, Washington.
Daily Dose!
[3/5/2017]
Cape Flattery, Washington.
Is the northwestern most point of the contiguous United States. It is in Clallam County, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean. It is also part of the Makah Reservation,[1] and is the northern boundary of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Cape Flattery can be reached from a short hike, most of which is boardwalked.[2] The westernmost point in the contiguous United States is at Cape Alava, south of Cape Flattery in Olympic National Park. However, the westernmost tip of Cape Flattery is almost exactly as far west as Cape Alava, the difference being approximately 5 seconds of longitude, about 360 feet (110 m), at high tide and somewhat more at low tide.[3]
The Cape Flattery Lighthouse is on Tatoosh Island, just off the cape. Makah Bay and Neah Bay are on either side of the cape. Neah Bay, Washington is the closest town to the cape.

Ozette: The Native American Potato
For over 200 years, the Makah people of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State maintained an original potato left by Spanish explorers in 1791. That potato is now known to have come directly from the high Andes, making it one of the only true original potatoes in America. All other potatoes are decended for hybrid potatoes developed in Europe or America.
The Herbfarm celebrates the potato once a year in a Menu for the Uber Tuber in November at the restaurant in Woodinville, Washington.

Makah Native Americans, another broken treaty
The Native American tribe the Makah nation of the Pacific Northwest, the state of Washington, in the United States of America, are whale hunters. They have been hunting whales for about 3,000 years.
In the USA prior to the 1960's many Americans grew up watching cowboy and Indian movies, where the Indians always lost. Then in the mid to late 1960's the liberals told America this was wrong as well as the nation's long history of breaking treaties with Native Americans. Books like Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, examined in detail the mistreatment of Native Americans by the government of the United States of America. Also movies like Little Big Man, Dances with Wolves, and Last of the Mohicans illustrated this poor treatment of Native Americans.
In 1855 the Makah nation signed a treaty with the USA government signing around 90% of their land in exchange for continued permission to hunt whales. Later European and commercial whalers in the region depleted the whales in the region and ended the whale hunts by the Makah people. Recently the whale population has replenished itself, and the Makah want to whale hunt again. Well in the 1970's the liberals through their co-conspirators in the environmental movement had the worthless Congress ban whaling in the region. The Makah nation is another example of broken treaties by the United States government and further proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.
The Wave of the Future: What Do the Youth of America Think?
Decisions today will affect society, the ocean, and the planet for years to come. The youth of America are motivated and educated, and they are fervently engaging in activism to shape the world they want to inherit. Social media and new technology have amplified the voices of the next generation and have empowered them to take on challenges and inspire social movements for the ocean. CHOW 2015 will invite several of these youth leaders to take the national stage and discuss current marine conservation issues, the importance of science and environmental education, and influencing ocean governance.

SUMMARY
=======
Whaling is the hunting of whales for their usable products such as meat and blubber, which can be turned into a type of oil which became increasingly important in the Industrial Revolution.
It was practiced as an organized industry as early as 875 AD. By the 16th century, it had risen to be the principal industry in the coastal regions of Spain and France. The industry spread throughout the world, and became increasingly profitable in terms of trade and resources. Some regions of the world's oceans, along the animals' migration routes, had a particularly dense whale population, and became the targets for large concentrations of whaling ships, and the industry continued to grow well into the 20th century. The depletion of some whale species to near extinction led to the banning of whaling in many countries by 1969, and to a worldwide cessation of whaling as an industry in the late 1980s.
The earliest forms of whaling date to at least circa 3000 BC. Coastal communities around the world have long histories of subsistence use of cetaceans, by dolphin drive hunting and by harvesting drift whales. Industrial whaling emerged with organized fleets of whaleships in the 17th century; competitive national whaling industries in the 18th and 19th centuries; and the introduction of factory ships along with the concept of whale harvesting in the first half of the 20th century. By the late 1930s more than 50,000 whales were killed annually. In 1986, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) banned commercial whaling because of the extreme depletion of most of the whale stocks.Contemporary whaling is subject to intense debate. Countries that support commercial whaling, notably Iceland, Japan, and Norway, wish to lift the ban on certain whale stocks for hunting. Anti-whaling countries and environmental groups oppose lifting the ban. Under the terms of the IWC moratorium, aboriginal whaling is allowed to continue on a subsistence basis. Over the past few decades, whale watching has become a significant industry in many parts of the world; in some countries it has replaced whaling, but in a few others, the two business models exist in an uneasy tension. The live capture of cetaceans for display in aquaria (e.g. captive killer whales) continues.

SUMMARY
=======
The Salishan (also Salish) languages are a group of languages of the Pacific Northwest in North America (the Canadian province of British Columbia and the American states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana). They are characterised by agglutinativity and syllabic consonants. For instance the Nuxalk word clhp’xwlhtlhplhhskwts’ (IPA: [xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬːskʷʰt͡sʼ]), meaning he had had [in his possession] a bunchberry plant, has thirteen obstruent consonants in a row with no phonetic or phonemic vowels. The Salishan languages are a geographically continuous block, with the exception of the Nuxalk (Bella Coola), in the Central Coast of British Columbia, and the extinct Tillamook language, to the south on the central coast of Oregon.
The terms Salish and Salishan are used interchangeably by linguists and anthropologists studying Salishan, but this is confusing in regular English usage. The name Salish or Selisch is the endonym of the Flathead Nation. Linguists later applied the name Salish to related languages in the Pacific Northwest. Many of the peoples do not have self-designations (autonyms) in their languages; they frequently have specific names for local dialects, as the local group was more important culturally than larger tribal relations.
All Salishan languages are considered critically endangered, some extremely so, with only three or four speakers left. Those languages considered extinct are often referred to as 'sleeping languages,' in that no speakers exist currently. In the early 21st century, few Salish languages have more than 2,000 speakers. Fluent, daily speakers of almost all Salishan languages are generally over sixty years of age; many languages have only speakers over eighty. Salishan languages are most commonly written using the Americanist phonetic notation to account for the various vowels and consonants that do not exist in most modern alphabets. Many groups have evolved their own distinctive uses of the Latin alphabet, however, such as the St'at'imc.
