Annual festival marked by fewer protests

Monday, August 30, 1999

By M.L. LYKE
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

NEAH BAY -- Even small things hint at a change in this drizzly,
sea-faring
Native American town.

Makah women knit wool hats with "5-17-99" woven into them.

Refrigerator magnets read: "Vegetarian: Indian word for 'lousy hunter.'"

A tribal mom has an image of a canoe, the canoe, tattooed on her arm.

"It hurt where they shaded it," said Misty Sprouffske, stopping during a
stroll through this past weekend's Makah Days '99 celebration to show a
tattoo-in-progress of the Hummingbird, the hand-hewn cedar canoe used by
Makah hunters to kill a gray whale May 17.

"The hunt brought back our tradition," said Sprouffske, pointing to her
5-year-old son Dakota. "He will be one of the next generation of
hunters."
