Neah Bay, a remote Makah Indian town, lies at the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca below Washington's Olympic Mountains. The most northwestern place in the lower forty-eight states, it requires a two-hour drive from the nearest city, Port Angeles. These two books describe the struggle of the Makah people to recover, protect, and promote their heritage. Ann Tweedie in Drawing Back Culture analyzes the history and outcomes of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), whereas Patricia Erikson examines the operation of a superb tribal museum, NAGPRA's pivot point at Neah Bay. |
