Reviews for Tamastslikt Cultural Institute in Pendleton, OR

Went on a field trip with a homeschool group. Very educational and great museum. Awesome staff.

This museum has a Nez Perce personal guide named John to guide you through the museum. John has a great personality and a good... sense of humor. He made our visit more informative and enjoyable Read more

A nice museum to spend an afternoon learning about the history of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation - The... Cayuse, Umatilla and the Walla Walla tribes. The exhibits take you through the traditional longhouse, the seasonal cycle offood, and the introduction of the horse. The ancestral lands were taken by treaty, and the tribes were forced to give up theirtraditional ways. The church and boarding school forced the tribes to give up their language and become assimilated to westernways. The tribes have in recent years built a casino, hotel and other ventures to bring a better life for the people. Locatedeasy of Pendleton on Highway 84 and behind The Wildhorse Casino. A nice stop in the Pendleton area to learn about the history,struggles and future of The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation. Read more

Fantastic museum! Beautifully put together.

It was very educational. Enjoyed everything it had to offer.

Absolutely stunning! Everyone was really wonderful!

Our family loved our visit to this fantastic museum. The displays were beautifully designed to take you through time and... history. Very immersive. The staff were so friendly too. We got a snack of fry bread and corn and salmon chowder from the cafeand both were delicious. Cute little gift shop too with lots of stuffed animals for the kiddos. I loved this museum and am sograteful for the love and time it took to put together. I also love that they have reserved shaded parking for elders. We shouldhave that everywhere! Go and visit this lovely place. Read more

A truly powerful and, at times, sad experience. This was a chance to really get some education on the local tribe and their... history. If you live in the area, this is a must. If you don't, you should make the effort regardless. I would recommend thismuseum to my friends and family. Read more
