The sea is my country : the maritime world of the Makahs, an indigenous borderlands people / Joshua L. Reid ; [foreword by the Makah Tribal Council and Makah Cultural and Resarch Center ; afterword by Micah McCarty].

Summary:

"For the Makahs, a tribal nation at the most northwestern point of the contiguous United States, a deep relationship with the sea is the locus of personal and group identity. Unlike most other indigenous tribes whose lives are tied to lands, the Makah people have long placed marine space at the center of their culture, finding in their own waters the physical and spiritual resources to support themselves. This book is the first to explore the history and identity of the Makahs from the arrival of maritime fur traders in the eighteenth century through the intervening centuries and to the present day."--Dust jacket.
