The second edition of Native Peoples of the Olympic Peninsula: Who We Are, edited by Jacilee Wray, offers an updated and expanded exploration of the nine Indigenous tribes of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula. Each chapter, written by members of the respective tribes, delves into their cultural histories, contemporary affairs, heritage programs, and connections to the land, highlighting both shared experiences such as trade, religion, warfare, and kinship and individual identities. This edition incorporates significant updates, including the removal of the Elwha River dams, and features over 70 photographs and illustrations, many newly added, to enhance the visual representation of the tribes’ cultures and histories. Serving as a comprehensive resource, the book underscores the resilience, heritage, and enduring contributions of these Native communities to the cultural tapestry of the Pacific Northwest.
