Each January, a number of PLU students study at Neah Bay with Dr. Huelsbeck and a number of Makah experts.  The people of Neah Bay have long been generous with the students and faculty of our department and this opportunity often remains vivid in memories for many years.

They were honored to attend both elementary and high school language classes and learn from the people who are revitalizing the use of Makah in Neah Bay. There was also time for beach walking and  leaning the bone game. As ever, the generosity of the people of Neah Bay was their favorite lesson.
