Spencer McCarty, whose Makah name Nuu>kWis>me>ya means “he who has feasting songs wherever he is,” is based in Neah Bay, Washington.
McCarty holds strong to his Makah culture through his artwork. He believes, “we as a people will hold strong to the history given us even though the world we live in has changed so much. We will continue to keep our culture intact to pass our heritage on to our children.”
