ReviewsNative Peoples help us better understand our neighbors-their history and their treaty rights-and can lead to a closer relationship with the original inhabitants of the peninsula."-Forts Forum, "A valuable contribution to the field of Native American studies. Most material on tribal cultures has been written by non-Natives. To hear the pride and determination of the people coming through this writing is great."-Ann M.

SynopsisNative Peoples of the Olympic Peninsula: Who We Are introduces readers to nine tribes: the Elwha Klallam, Jamestown S'Klallam, Port Gamble S'Klallam, Skokomish, Squaxin Island, Quinault, Hoh, Quileute, and Makah. Written by members of the Olympic Peninsula Intertribal Cultural Advisory Committee, edited by anthropologist Jacilee Wray, and enhanced by photographs and maps, the book is divided into sections focusing on each of the tribes. Each section relates the tribe's history, its current cultural and political issues, and its tribal heritage programs. Each section also includes information about places to visit and offers suggestions for further reading.
