Makah Indian Tribe

A series of storytelling programs and training will create new services for community members and the general public. Live storytelling sessions and recordings of past expert storytellers will be offered at the Makah Cultural and Research Center. Storytellers will travel to schools in surrounding communities. Workshops will instruct interested individuals in the techniques of Makah storytelling. By providing these services, the Makah Cultural and Research Center will increase awareness of its library and archival collections. It will also create a larger group of skilled and captivating storytellers for tribal members and visitors and preserve important cultural values that are transmitted though stories and legends.
