Native Peoples of the Olympic Peninsula: Who We Are

I am so glad to have found this in the bookstore at Seabrook (https://www.facebook.com/joiedeslivres.seabrook/, if you ever need a great beach bookstore)! I've recently relocated to the Olympic Peninsula, and had not found many readily accessible options for tribal history, so this book, by the Olympic Peninsula Intertribal Cultural Advisory Committee, was a great addition to resources I've been collecting. There are chapters by S'Klallam, Skokomish, Squaxin Island, Quinault, Hoh, Quileute, and Makah tribal members, and each chapter covers so much ground - everything from origin myths, historical and ongoing cultural traditions and events, to treaty signing (which, on the part of the U.S. government, was in bad faith from the beginning and then shamefully and criminally additionally exploitative), and the status of language maintenance. This is 4/5 stars because I wish it was longer! As it is, however, this would be a lovely guide for someone visiting the Olympic Peninsula. Each chapter includes opportunities for visitors to engage with each tribe, their history, and the land they steward.
