The Makah Nation of Washington is pursuing an aggressive development strategy to improve economic opportunities.
The tribe is planning to open a mini-mart by July 1 and a motel in another year.
A tramway, an expanded casino, visitors center and "eco-friendly tourism" projects are also in the works.
The tribe wants to increase tourism in an culturally and environmentally sensitive way, said Ralph Kopansky, the tribe's business enterprise manager.
