The Yakima Valley Museum is honored and grateful to be on their traditional lands and give thanks to the legacy of the original people, their lives, and their descendants who make their home here today.

We encourage you to visit the Yakama Nation Cultural Center to learn more about the history and culture of the Yakama people.
