"Voices of a Thousand People is the story of one Native community's struggle to regain control of its past and preserve their heritage for generations to come.
The remote northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State is the homeland of the Makah Indian Nation, whose name in their own language translates to "the People Who Live by the Rocks and Seagulls." Rich in ceremony, art, and tradition and nationally known for their revival of whale hunting, the Makahs have devoted themselves to revitalizing their traditional language and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
