Ozette Indian Reservation is a historical reservation located in Clallam County, Washington. The Ozette were a southern branch of the Makah and belonged to the Nootka branch of the Wakashan linguistic family. The Makah and the Ozette are peculiar as the only tribes of the Nootka group and the Wakashan stock in the United States. They lived on the Ozette Lake and Ozette River in Clallam County. Their villages were "Ozette", at Flattery Rocks; and "Sooes", 4 miles south of the Makah village of "Waatch". It was reported that in 1937 there was only a single Ozette left. An island, a lake, a river, and a village are named Ozette after them.
