Preserving the way of life, language and traditional physical culture of the Wanapum for the next generation.

Learning how to preserve, use, and make tools -- this is our living culture program. Participants gain knowledge so that the culture will be passed on to the younger generation. The Wanapum Heritage Center's Living Culture Program includes:
