The Quileute Alphabet

In 2007, the Tribal Council set up a two-year Quileute Revitilization Project with the goal of encouraging the use of Quileute words and phrases in everyday village life.

Elders' Traditions

“Sustainable resources” is not a new concept. Tribes of the Pacific Northwest have always practiced resource management. Harvesting what is needed for a “moderate living” (in the words of the federal courts), and harvesting so enough is left for the future generations, are tribal ways of existence. When conservation becomes necessary, it is generally because sustainable practices have been ignored—when careless development or excess harvest changes the balance.

Traditional Raven Stories

Like other First Nations farther north along the Pacific coast, traditional stories have Raven as the main trickster character.

Quileute History

Oriented to the ocean, Quileutes fished and hunted sea mammals, and were recognized as the best sealers on the coast. In the early 1900s, a canoe similar to those used by the Quileutes was outfitted with a mast and sailed around the world. Quileute whaling canoes traveled as far north as Southeast Alaska and as far south as California.
