The northern boundary of the reservation is the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The western boundary is the Pacific Ocean. It has a land area of and a 2000 census resident population of 1,356 persons. Its largest community is Neah Bay. The Makah are native North Americans who in the early nineteenth century inhabited Cape Flattery, Washington. According to Lewis and Clark, they then numbered some 2,000. The Makah are the southernmost of the Wakashan group, being the only member of the Wakashan group within the United States. Makah culture was fundamentally that of the Pacific Northwest Coast area. In 1855 they ceded all their lands to the United States except a small area on Cape Flattery that was set aside as a reservation. Today most of the 1,600 Makah in the United States live on the Makah Reservation; their main tribal income is from forestry. Non-tribal members visiting the reservation are required to purchase a pass upon entering the reservation. Guests on official business are given a free pass. ==See also== * Indigenous languages of the Americas * Nuu-chah-nulth 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Makah Reservation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
