Makah Indian Tribe

Log Number: MN-00-17-0020-17

The Tribal Memories Project will enhance and increase knowledge about Makah culture and history by preserving at least 400 treasured community photographs and digitally restoring at least 200 of them. This project will promote collection stewardship and increase educational opportunities for museum visitors and community members through a photo exhibit and quarterly PowerPoint presentations featuring the digitized images. Programming will provide a forum for the community to engage and become active participants in learning and sharing traditional knowledge with others. Approved images and metadata will be uploaded on the web-based program titled, Mukurtu, to increase access to the image collections.
