The Makah National Fish Hatchery Visitor Center in Neah Bay, WA is getting some new tribal art that celebrates and honors the importance and influence of salmon to the Makah culture. Commissioned pieces include a red cedar carving (14″ x 58″) Steelhead plaque carved with abalone inlay and treated with lemon oil, some wooden fish dissection puzzles, and more. These art pieces will be available to be enjoyed by all who enter the Visitor Center as soon as it reopens following the shutdown related to Covid-19.
