Makah

Photography is prohibited at the Makah cultural museum in Neah Bay, so I borrowed these images from the internet. Above are replicas of the whaling canoes used by the ancient Makah, and below is from a modern hunt, still using the traditional canoe.


I also asked the guy at the desk about the Stick People, but he seemed reluctant to talk, obviously afraid of negatively affecting tourism.

How close to shore do the whales come when traveling North or South?
