The Makah realm of childhood and adulthood merged into one another. Small bows and reed arrows; miniature-or model-canoes, bailers, harpoons, and clubs; tiny baskets and cradles have come from Ozette.
However, small things aren't necessarily toys. They may have been intended as scale models, gifts, or ornaments, illustrations of stories, or for use in ceremonies.
The Community Museum is a project of community organizations and Tribes across the Olympic Peninsula, and the University of Washington.
Support for the project comes from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Preston, Gates and Ellis, LLP.
