Our History, Our Legacy...Past to Present

The Yakama nation Museum opened in 1980 and is one of the oldest Native American Museums in the United States. The 12,0000 square foot exhibition hall is the result of years of hope, thought, and effort on the part of the Yakama people.

You will encounter for the first time the 'Yakama Experience' and 'The Challenge of Spilyay'
