The Makah of the Northwest Coast
|
|
 The Olympic Peninsula, on Washington State's northwest corner, is home to Olympic National Park and Cape Alava. Cape Alava was once home to the Ozette (pronounced Ho-sett) or the Ho-Selth, who called themselves Kwih-dich-chuh-ahtx or "people who live by rocks and seagulls." We now call these people the Makah, the name given by a neighboring tribe, the Jamestown S'Klallam, meaning "generous with food."
