Death threats poured into the Makah Reservation. A bomb threat that
closed the Puyallup Tribe's Chief Leschi School – nowhere near Neah
Bay. When the Neah Bay high School football team reached the state
finals in 1999, protesters showed up with bumper stickers stating
"Save a whale, kill a Makah" on their cars, throwing things and
screaming obscenities at the players. (Jayda Evans, Seattle Times,
Dec. 12, 1999). At THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM. Other non-Makah
Indians reported the same kind of threats as Makah tribal members.
