Not True...


I was reading an article about NATIVE people.
And man... I wish people would research their info before writing a NONFICTIONAL article.

The writer said, "NATIVE people are no longer involved in their culture; and that the culture is becoming nonexistent.”

 Neah Bay was mentioned by making this statement, “Only the elders know the Makah Indian songs.”

 Well NOT true!

Our culture here in Neah Bay is STRONG, my three year old granddaughter can sing, Yes Jesus Loves Me, in the Makah Language.

We have dedicated teachers at ALL the schools located here in Neah Bay; who are teaching Makah Language and dance.

 The Makah people are not trying to be INDIANs they are Proud Makah Natives. Neah Bay is and will always be one Nation to standout amongst others.

 My book has some truth to it; the Native lifestyle is very much true. I moved here in the 70's and found that I really respect the Makah ways; Family, Love, Respect, and Brotherly concern for each other.

Just had to say….something.
