Website Summary: quileutetribe.com

The Quileute Tribe is located in La Push, Washington, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. If you are interested in conducting business operations in La Push, WA on the Quileute Reservation, you must apply for a business license in advance. The Quileute Tribe has lived and hunted in this area for thousands of years. Much has changed since those times, but the Quileute Elders remember “back in the days” when the “old people” dared challenge kwalla, the mighty whale, and recounted the story of how the bayak, or raven, placed the sun in the sky. Because of the remote location of La Push, the Quileute have built a tourism industry that serves those seeking a relaxing getaway or a rejuvenating adventure.
