The Native Village Buried By A Mudslide For 500 Years — And The 55,000 Artifacts Found Preserved Beneath The Mud
The artifacts are not presented as the remains of a disappeared or mysterious people.
They are presented as the ancestral heritage of a living community, as part of a continuous cultural history that connects the pre-contact household life preserved in the mud to the Makah people who maintain that heritage today.
This interpretive frame is not simply a politically correct update to conventional museum practice.
It reflects the actual historical situation.
The Makah people did not disappear.
They were not replaced.
