Quileute Tribal School and Cultural Sites (La Push)

The Quileute have occupied this stretch of the Olympic coast for at least 8,000 to 9,000 years. In 1889, a settler burned down all twenty-six houses at La Push, destroying precontact regalia, baskets, and carved masks in a single act. What endured was the people and the language — now dormant since 1999, but actively taught again, with a language and culture app released in 2021. La Push is where that work continues.
