Makah

Micah McCarty

Micah McCarty, of Neah Bay, Washington, is a member of the Makah Nation, a drum maker, and a woodcarver of traditional tribal imagery. Within the last several years, McCarty has been involved with reviving the ancient songs of the Makah people, as well as the imagery of his family.

Working with his father, who was raised in a Makah speaking household, McCarty is learning the “old way” of singing and making costumes for the dances that accompany the songs. McCarty’s work has been part of the Royal British Columbia Museum’s “Out of the Mist Treasures of the Nuu-cha-nulth Chiefs” touring exhibition and he was a Master artist in the WSAC FolkArts Program in 2000-2001.
