Quileute



The Quileute (Quillayute), including the Hoh, live on the west coast of the Olympic Peninsula in northwestern Washington to the south of Cape Flattery. Today they live mainly on the Quileute and Hoh Indian reservations in Washington. The Quileute make a strong effort to preserve the culture, requiring, for example, that tribal membership be given only to those with 50 percent Quileute ancestry and birth on the Reservation. They spoke Quileute, a language of the Chimakuan family and numbered about four hundred in the mid-1980s.

I am going to this tribe to help them so I have to learn as much as I can. This article has helped me through it. You should always look at all the articles if you like to read, if you like to look, look at the maps and pictures instead. But this article is so helpful that I really haven't found half as much info yet!
