Every year, White Bluffs plans a series of events to commemorate the
culture and heritage of our Native Americans.
Fall, 2017 will be very special, thanks to our sponsors, The Wildhorse Foundation and Walmart Community Grants!
For the first time, White Bluffs will bring the Wanapum Discovery Unit to the museum parking lot. The Wanapum Native Discovery Unit is a part of the Wanapum Heritage Center. It is a custom motorhome that brings the Wanapum history and culture to you. By touring this unit, you will learn who the Wanapum are, what foods they eat, about their way of life, what is important to them, and how they maintain their culture. Inside the unit, visitors will view a miniature of the old Priest Rapids Wanapum Village and many other Wanapum artifacts. October 27, 28. 10am - 4pm

In addition to the Discovery Unit, White Bluffs will be presenting two (2) exhibits.
An exhibit of Native Basketry will be featured at the Richland Library,
October 21 - November 25.
An exhibit of Native American artifacts at White Bluffs Quilt Museum,
