RESOURCE CENTER
A comfortable space for formal & informal discussions, learning and visiting. Curated books, videos, periodicals and tribal newspapers from the region available. Kids books too!
PROGRAMMING
The visitor center is available at a moment's notice for group visits, and although the museum is small, the informative staff will make sure it is a educational outing for learners of all ages. The staff at Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland participates in local programs such as Wallowa Elementary Rendezvous, Wallowa Resources’ Watershed Festival, Chief Joseph Summer Camp and Eastern Oregon University student mentorship. In addition, several times each year, artisans teach native craft skills including basketry, weaving, beading, carving and plant identification. Workshops are usually free of charge.
Native youth camps, seminars, field trips for elders and other groups visiting Wallowa from reservations or elsewhere are encouraged to plan a stop at the visitor center to set the stage for their time in the Nez Perce homeland.
We will also gladly come to your school, business or event in order to further our mission while educating both locals and visitors about the history and people of the Wallowa country. Please contact our office to make arrangements.
