Hoh
From NativeWiki
Hoh is a Native American tribe in western Washington state in the United States. The tribe lives on the northwest corner of Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. The Hoh moved onto the Hoh Indian Reservation at the mouth of the Hoh River, on the Pacific Coast of Jefferson County, after the signing of the Quinault River Treaty on July 1, 1855. The reservation has a land area of 1.929 km² (476.6 acres) and a 2000 census resident population of 102 persons, 81 of whom were Native Americans.
The original Hoh language was actually the Quileute language. The Hoh are considered to be a band of the Quileute tribe. The lifestyle of the Hoh, like many Northwest Coast tribes, involved the fishing of salmon.
