˜Yakama Indian Culture and History –

As a complement to our Yakama language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Yakama tribe and their society. Please note that Yakamas and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Yakama history is interesting and important, but the Yakama Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have a Yakama link to add.
