As a result many tribal traditions, cultures, and languages have disappeared from the North American continent and Hawaiian Islands. Today, American https://digitalcommons.law.ou.edu/ailr/vol25/iss2/9 No. 2] THE MAKAH TRIBE GOES WHALING Indian tribes and native individuals are still forced to fight to preserve and to exercise their remaining traditions and cultural practices.2 These entities are fighting to overcome the influence of the dominant American society and to avoid being assimilated into the American "melting pot." This struggle will continue into the foreseeable future as these native societies and individuals try to maintain their cultures and strive to set the agenda for their own cultural practices, or in other words, as they strive to exercise cultural self- determination. The challenge to preserve a practicing tribal culture on its own terms is well exemplified by the recent Makah Indian Tribe whale hunts. In recent years, the Makah Tribe determined to renew its long dormant cultural, religious and legal rights regarding whales by reviving its traditional hunts. The Makah plan to continue this cultural tradition into the future. In this effort, the Tribe has become an excellent example of a culture which preserved its important ancient traditions within its own culture and withstood the effects of time, assimilation by American society, and outright official federal oppression, and then revived its cultural, religious, and legal rights by resuming its traditional whale hunting. In May 1999, after years of legal, cultural and religious preparations, a Makah tribal whaling crew harpooned and killed a California gray whale. The 1999 hunt was the first for the Tribe in over seventy years. The uproar of media coverage, the outrage of some animal rights groups, and the outpouring of support for the Makah was intense. The Tribe continued to hunt gray whales, albeit unsuccessfully, in the spring of 2000. A federal appeals court decision in June 2000, however, raised some question whether the Tribe would be allowed to continue whaling? The Makah situation demonstrates that the effort to exercise cultural self- determination is an ongoing struggle. Tribes and native peoples have to remain ever vigilant and always ready to defend and to exercise their cultural practices and to preserve them by teaching them to their children and grandchildren if their cultures are to survive.

The Treaty of Neah Bay secured to the Makah Indian Tribe the “right of taking fish and of whaling or sealing at usual and accustomed grounds and stations.” The Treaty of Olympia secured to the Quileute Indian Tribe and Quinault Indian Nation, the southern neighbors of Makah along the Washington coast, the “right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed grounds and stations.” Unlike the Treaty of Neah Bay, the Treaty of Olympia expressed only a “right of taking fish”; it did not reference “whaling or sealing.” In this case, the Ninth Circuit held the “right of taking fish” in the Treaty of Olympia includes a right of whaling and sealing. Then, the Ninth Circuit held Quileute and Quinault’s “usual and accustomed” fishing grounds under the treaty extend beyond the areas in which the Tribes customarily fished to areas in which they hunted “‘marine mammals—including whales and fur seals.’” App.

The objective is to identify how experiences and interactions within Indigenous canoe journeys, specifically Tribal Journeys, can connect youth to traditions, environments, Elders, other individuals, and each other. Drawing on interviews with adults and participant observation, I consider relational themes of self and identity to explore the cultural impact on the young people as they participate in Tribal Journeys 2010 and symbolic ceremonies within it. Through qualitative inquiry and inductive reasoning, this interpretive epistemological approach includes concepts specific to the Indigenous research paradigm and uses a performative narrative to present results. Kw‟umut Lelum Child and Family Services is a society committed to the well-being of Indigenous children residing within nine Coast Salish communities on Vancouver Island. The agency focuses on family, community, and sacredness of culture as guided by the Snuw‟uy‟ulh model, which uses the teachings of the present to unite the past and future.

  • By Food: the Makah Indians Are a Tribe Located in the Northwest Tip Of
    by Food: The Makah Indians are a tribe located in the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula located in Washington . The land and waters around the Makah territory contained many land and sea animals, mostly sea foods like whales, fish, crabs, mussels, and more. People really enjoy eating whale. The Makahs liked whale the best, Makahs would generally hunt a Gray whale and use much of its meat for oil. The whale was killed by stabbing it with a harpoon that was attached to inflated seal skins to prevent it from diving. When they went hunting, they hunted for elk and deer mostly. Then, they gathered seagull eggs and hunted seal that are added on to the list. Then, Men did all of the hunting and women did all of the gathering the Makahs are very well and determined hunters and gatherers. Makahs used parts of whales for food, oil, ropes, and bags. Dwellings: The Makah houses were built on a permanent framework, which implies they were a very stable community. The houses usually had dimensions of 60 feet long by 30 feet wide by 15 feet tall The roofs were flat ~d were made up 'of planks that could be moved around for ventilation or could be removed completely and put on a different house. The flat roof was also used as a platform to lay fish out to dry. Each house usually consisted of many families, which were kept separate by walls. These walls were easily removed when there was dancing, gambling, and feasting between the families. The houses also often contained a wide plank with carved designs.
