Native American Heritage
tamÁstslikt cultural institute
Tamástslikt Cultural Institute was built by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation to preserve the Native American heritage, culture and history of the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla Tribes and present their story to the world. The state of the art facility showcases regional tribal history, the tribes’ present day affairs and plans for the future through interactive exhibits, Coyote Theater, events and programs. In addition to quarterly exhibitions on timely topics, the permanent displays have recently been upgraded and other improvements made to further enhance the experience for visitors of all ages who come to enjoy an immersive education. Shopping at The Museum Store and dining at Kinship Café round out the visit.
