Archaeology

Grant PUD and the Wanapum take the protection of the cultural resources in the Priest Rapids Project very seriously.

Together, the utility leaders and the Wanapum have worked to protect and enhance the cultural resources of the area, including protection of fish populations and the area’s rich cultural heritage. Both parties have long understood the importance of protecting, preserving and perpetuating the Native American Culture, as evidenced by the impressive collection of artifacts and history housed at the Wanapum Dam Heritage Center.
