Makah Museum

The Makah Museum also known as Makah Cultural and Research Center is a museum on the Makah Indian reservation in Neah Bay, Washington. It houses and interprets artifacts from a Makah village partly buried by a mudslide at Lake Ozette around 1750[1], providing a snapshot of pre-contact tribal life. The museum includes a replica long house, canoes, basketry and whaling and fishing gear.
