Welcome to This House: A Century of Makah People Honoring Identity and Negotiating Cultural Tourism

University of Southern Maine

Abstract.

This article considers the historical context, cultural processes, and contemporary meanings of the Makah Cultural and Research Center (MCRC). While fostering cultural tourism, this museum/cultural center's "self-portrait" mediates popular stereotypes. The MCRC has emerged as a significant space for cross-cultural encounters where material culture is a central element in the Makah self-representational project.
