About Makah Tribal Lands

Makah Tribal Lands
 

The Makah Tribal Lands are located on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, encompassing a breathtaking stretch of rugged coastline along the Pacific Ocean. This area has been home to the Makah Tribe for thousands of years and holds immense cultural and historical significance. The lands include diverse ecosystems from lush forests to dramatic sea cliffs, supporting a wide array of flora and fauna. Visitors are drawn to the natural beauty of Cape Flattery, the westernmost point in the contiguous United States, providing panoramic views of the ocean and Tatoosh Island. The Makah Museum in Neah Bay offers insights into the rich cultural heritage of the tribe, with artifacts dating back millennia. Recreational opportunities abound, with hiking trails leading to secluded beaches and prime spots for birdwatching and marine life observation, such as seals and sea lions. The Makah Tribal Lands are a testament to the enduring legacy of the Makah people and their connection to the land and sea.
