The Native Village Buried By A Mudslide For 500 Years — And The 55,000 Artifacts Found Preserved Beneath The Mud
The museum, which opened in 1979 while excavation at Ozette was still ongoing, is a significant institution on its own terms.
It is a tribally owned and operated facility that combines archaeological collection management with living cultural programs.
It houses not only the Ozette collection but a broader range of materials documenting Makah history and culture.
It serves as a research center for scholars working on Northwest Coast prehistory and ethnography, and as a cultural center for the Makah community itself.
The interpretive approach of the Makah Cultural and Research Center reflects the particular character of the Ozette project.
