Visitors to The Museum at Warm Springs will experience firsthand the sounds of ancient songs and languages, the mastery of traditional craftsmen and the sights of rich and colorful cultures that make up the Confederated Tribes of The Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon. Their histories and traditions are told in an exciting, permanent, interactive exhibit, bringing to life the fascinating story of the Tribes.
In 1968, the tribal leadership and community recognized that private collectors and off-reservation institutions were buying much of their material culture. Soon thereafter, the Tribes began to allocate $50,000 per year for the purchase of artifacts from individual tribal members and families of the Warm Springs community. More than $1.5 million has been expended to date.
In addition, the Museum’s archives boasts 2,500 photographs dating from the 1850’s to the present. The final component of the archive consists of important tribal documents and many books on a wide range of subjects on American Indian history, art and culture.
The collections of the museum are rotated throughout the year. So, when you visit you may see an entire new display in the gallery.
The dream of a tribal collection for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon began over four decades ago.
