Nestled in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula’s rugged coastline lies a community so remote the U.S. Postal Service hasn’t delivered mail here since 1934.
Despite its secluded location, Queets, Washington, is home to roughly 300 Native Americans who are members of the Quinault Indian Nation. Every Sabbath, a lone Native elder, Conrad Williams, makes his way to the heart of the little community. He walks up a wooden ramp to the front of the small community church and unlocks door.
“I come here every Sabbath, hoping others will join me” says Williams.
