Hoh people
The
Hoh or
Chalá·at ("Those-Who-Live-on-the-Hoh River" or "People of the Hoh River") are a
Native American tribe in western
Washington state in the
United States. The tribe lives near the Pacific Coast 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 Treaty on July 1, 1855. The reservation has a land area of and a
2000 census resident population of 102 persons, 81 of whom were Native Americans. It lies about halfway between its nearest outside communities of
Forks, to its north, and
Queets (on the
Quinault Indian Reservation), to its south. The river is central to their culture. The main resources they used included cedar trees, salmon, and the nearby vegetation. They also traded and bartered with other tribes closer to
Eastern Washington, near the Plateaus and Great Plains.
