Welcome to the Makah Cultural and Research Center, home of the Makah Museum, Makah Museum Store, Makah Language Program, Archives/Library Department, Makah Education Department, and Tribal Historic Preservation Office. Funding for the Makah Cultural and Research Center is derived from a number of different sources including Federal Grants, Private Foundations and Corporations, museum ticket sales, museum store sales and by Makah Museum Members. About 4% of the operating budget is funded by the Makah Tribal Council.

The Makah Museum interprets and houses 300-500 year old artifacts recovered from the Ozette Archaeological Site.
