Something about Quinault tribe
The original Quinault flourished with access to good fishing (especially salmon and steelhead), hunting, berry picking and wood gathering.
Nearly a third of the Quinault reservation has been used or owned by timber and saw-milling companies. Have previously sold its timber right, the Quinault tribe is in the process of regaining them. They also built a salmon hatchery and a fish-processing plant. It markets a considerable amount of such seafood as clams. It also operates an arts-and -crafts manufacturing plant.
You must have an Indian guide to fish on the Quinault reservation. Off reservation fishing is open to the public.
Special events: the Quinault trout derby is held annually, usually around Memorial Day. The main feature is a cedar dugout race. The tribe also holds Taholah day, a Fourth of July celebration featuring Indian dances, canoe race, and salmon barbecue.
