Yakama Nation Cultural Center, a unique facility with a museum that exhibits the history and art of the region’s first people—the Yakamas. Inhabitants of the Yakama Reservation are descendants of a coalition formed in the middle of the last century by the original Yakama and 13 other bands. In 1938, the population of the Yakama Indian tribe, the largest in the State, was 2,933, most of whom live on small farms and ranches.
