From seals to salmon to whales, the sea was – and still is – a large part of the livelihood of the Makah. With- in their territory, the Makah had many summer and permanent villages. The five permanent vil- lages – the Wa’atch, Tsoo-Yess, Diaht, Ozette Seattle and Ba’adah – were located in forests and on beaches. In the early 1800s, these villages were home to between 2,000 and 4,000 Makah. The Makah are highly skilled mariners, coming from a long line of ancestors who used sophis- ticated navigational and maritime skills to trav- el the rough waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Strait of Juan de Fuca to hunt whales and seals as well as travel. In 1855, the Makah, repre- sented by 42 tribal dignitaries, negotiated and signed a treaty with the United States retaining their right to whale and hunt, fish and gather as they always had.
