Dive deep into the powerful story of the Makah Nation, the "People of the Cape," an ancient seafaring tribe from the rugged coast of Washington State. This documentary explores the rich history, enduring culture, and the profound connection the Makah have with the sea.
For thousands of years, the Makah have thrived at the most northwestern point of the contiguous United States, with a culture deeply intertwined with the Pacific Ocean. We explore their incredible past, including the discovery of the Ozette Indian Village—an archaeological site often called "America's Pompeii"—where a 500-year-old village was perfectly preserved by a mudslide, offering an unprecedented look into their pre-contact way of life.
At the heart of the Makah identity is their tradition of whaling. We examine the 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay, a unique document that explicitly secured the Makah's right to hunt whales, a practice central to their spiritual and cultural life. This video unpacks the complex and often controversial modern story of the Makah whale hunt, from the 70-year hiatus to the celebrated 1999 hunt and the ongoing legal and ethical debates that surround it today.
Join us as we explore the resilience of the Makah people, their fight to preserve ancient traditions in a modern world, and the unbreakable bond between a people and the ocean that sustains them.
