AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is a short discussion of changes in Makah culture in terms of the community, economy, diet and personality. The author, an ethnologist, finds that the major disruption of Makah values and attitudes occurred, not during the period of active hostility on the part of the government toward the indigenous culture, but rather during the period of active inter-culture contact. However, most of the indigenous values seem to have been retained in modified form, in keeping with the changes in material culture and diet as a result of White contact.
