The Makah Museum also known as the Makah Cultural and Research Center is an

long house and thousands of artifacts of interest to academics and laypeople, including canoes, basketry, whaling and fishing gear.[2][3][4]

The museum was created under the leadership of tribal chairman Edward Eugene Claplanhoo and opened in 1979, soon after the Lake Ozette site was unearthed.[5][6]
