The Quinault Indian Nation

Seabrook now occupies colonized land once owned and inhabited by the Quinault Nation, a Southwestern Washington coast Salish people.

The Quinault Indian Nation (QIN) is still active in the area, with a few thousand members. They operate several businesses, including QMart stores in Aberdeen and Ocean Shores and the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino in Ocean Shores. We encourage you to support these businesses with your dollars.

Below are links to websites, pages and articles to help you learn more about the Quinault people, their history, and their impact on the area.

Kʷínaył is what the Quinault people call themselves, and is also the name of their language.
