FORKS — Tribal members moved a prehistoric petroglyph that tells of a Quileute legend from the muddy banks of the Calawah River to the A-Ka-Lat Community Center in LaPush on Wednesday.
The ancient battle between a Quileute cultural hero — the supernatural transformer K'wati — and a menacing Red Lizard was etched centuries ago into a half-ton rock that Gig Harbor fisherman Erik Wasankari discovered near Forks last December. It was revealed to the public only this week.
After a short ceremony on the banks of the river, the metamorphic boulder was moved to the tribal center, where a second ceremony was planned in the evening.
The artifact will remain with the tribe. Read more.
A dreamcatcher is an authentic Native American tradition. It is a beautiful charm to be hung over your bed to protect you from nightmares while you sleep. The legend of the Native American dreamcatcher is that it allows good to dreams to slip through the web and continue on to the sleeper during the night, while the bad dreams get caught in the web and disappear at morning light.
Just a phone case I designed. - I’m more active on my Instagram account ; @quileutegirl , I’m proud of my Instagram and share more stories and edits on there.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that I received these in the mail yesterday an esty seller makes crochet wolves and I have 4/10 guys from the wolf pack here.
Lol I ain’t obsessed with twilight or the wolf pack ♀️ ;; yes that is a real signed autograph by Kiowa Gordon. A lady who went to the twilight festival in Forks got my favourite picture signed for me and bought me things back from there.
Do y’all remember when I posted a picture of 4 of these little cuties? Well the lady on esty made me the rest of the pack and HOLY HELL they arrived yesterday’s day without a doubt are the cutest little things I own; best wolf pack stuff I own in general.
November is Native American Heritage Month and I wanted to a sorting of meaningful and positive portrayals of Native characters from TV, movies, books and comic books. There is a real lack of representation of diverse Native characters in the arts, so this sorting may seem more sparse than other sortings I’ve done in the past. This is a sad fact that we need to change. Accurate and positive representations are rare, with whitewashing and stereotypes prevailing in the industry. Representation matters. Diversity matters. May there be thousands more to add to this sorting in the near future.

hey y’all! i’m working on a project about the quileute tribe right now, and i just found out that they post monthly updates about MTHG in their newsletter, “the talking raven.”here’s the november 2021 update!
[Image ID: An infographic from the Quileute Tribe’s newsletter. The header reads, “Move to Higher Ground Update.” The image includes four pictures of construction progress from the new tribal school; three external shots and one internal shot of the gymnasium. The description reads, “In October the Move to Higher Ground Project completed classroom carpeting, gutters and downspout installations and installed basketball hoops and backboards into the gym. Construction started on casework installation, bus barn and the water tank foundation preparation. In November, Parametrix would like to complete: the waterline connecting to the water tank, concrete pour for the water tank foundation, kitchen and gym flooring and equipment installation, landscaping and bathroom fixtures and classroom sinks installation.” End ID.]
the construction of a new tribal school has been the initial goal of MTHG since the fundraiser began in 2011 (learn more). ten years later, they’re still working to build this school!
