About Our Center

For more than 60 years, the Wanapum and Grant PUD have worked together to protect, preserve and perpetuate the natural and cultural resources of the area. Located next to the Wanapum’s ancestral village and Priest Rapids Dam, this 50,000 square-foot building is instrumental in perpetuating the importance of the culture, traditions and beliefs of the Wanapum for years to come.
