  The museum is so interesting about the Plateau Native Americans. I've learned so much. It was wonderful. I really enjoyed the little gift shop too.

  This is a very modern easy to get to Museum on the edge of town. Very friendly staff. I went away having learned about many things that I did not know about. I think this would be a good place for families and a school field trip.

  displays okay shops and restaurants do not belong in a museum especially a cultural heritage museum need more emphasis on the rich history of the tribes

  Several exhibits broken down and no real friendliness vibe. Leaned that Native American Culture is being preserved and taught through museum setting.

  Tribal museums are an amazing strength in our world and the Umatilla Tribe has grown and prospered over many decades. The Cultural Institute offers the viewer to learn the Umatilla legacy and history from the people who experienced it. Family-friendly/.

  The Institute is normally closed on Sundays, but opened just for our excursion group. We were welcomed, and had ample time to walk through the exhibits. All of the information presented is most interesting, and gives very good background about the Tamastslikt people and their culture. It is a very handsome exhibit space.

  The facility is beautiful. Permenant and visiting exhibits were well displayed, informative, and enjoyable. The museum told a difficult story well. Don't miss the chance to visit.

  We have many museums, waysides, and interpretive centers that share information on the Oregon Trail, but none that do a better job of showing that migration in the view of the Native Americans that already inhabited the west than the Tamastslikt Cultural Institute. I took two of my grandchildren on a trip to travel the Oregon Trail when the oldest was going into 4th grade. She would be studying the Oregon trail that year and the younger one the next. We traveled the trail, both directions, from Portland south to California and then to St. Louis and then from St. Louis back to Portland. We stopped at dozens of museums, waysides, and centers and enjoyed the trip and walking in the actual wagon ruts along the way. I had never been to the Tamastslikt Center before and I was so glad we made the stop. The oldest child read every word on the walls and was challenged to think of the migration to Oregon from another point of view. It was a great addition to our trip into history. We plan to go back again with a new group of grandchildren this summer.

  The populating of the American West told from the Native American perspective -- without an axe to grind. Very well presented, very enlightening. I've been following the Oregon Trail from Independence Missouri and this is one of the best exhibits and interpretations I've seen - and, believe me, I've seen dozens!

  Upon entering this beautiful new building and listening to the introduction by Coyote, you are experiencing a different perspective through sight and sound. Western Native American history is revealed with photos and artifacts in a well-curated way. A friendly warning: you may be saddened by the Trail of Tears facts as told by Native Americans but encouraged by their determination.
