Neat!
The breast shaped rock is in the Makah Cultural and Research Center
(museum)?--located near the stone technology, net weights etc.  This is a
nice artifact.
It is very interesting to note that their is a common qw'eti (Mink) story
about--the lazy boy.
q'weti's mother wanted him to get her something to drink as she was thirsty.
He refused his mother's request.
She became angered or heartbroken, and asked for water, adding she might
turn into a bird if he did not do as
requested.  q'weti refused again. And again she said the same thing.
She turned into a Bluejay before his eyes.  He grabbed his bow and arrow and
tried to prevent her from leaving.
He shot an arrow at her and grazed her head, and ruffling her head feathers.
This is why the bluejay has the little
tuft of feathers sticking up on top today.
q'weti ran to the spot where he last saw his mother and found her breasts
had turned to round stones.  Similar to the ones  that are found on the
beach.
Whenever he went to the beach and saw the round, smooth stones there, he
would cry and cry, "shiXe shiXe shiXe" (boo hoo, boo hoo).
This rock artifact is an interesting object, possibly a prop for story
telling--especially the Bluejay story.
Another interesting artifact found at Ozette (use?ilh?atX) is a small carved
figure placed in a mussel shell--which correlates well with the story of the
Origin and Birth of Mink, who came from mucus of his mother's tears.  She
placed him in the shell and changed the size as he grew and grew.
What is the name of the person who found the stone breast?
Scott
