NELSON WALLULATUM
Wasco Chief, Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, Oregon


Served on Tribal Council for more than 40 years. He has been a witness to the devastating episodes in the Columbia River story of the past 70 years, and is a voice for fish, the river, and Native traditions. Wallulatum was the driving force in the creation of the Warm Springs Museum. A compelling presence and voice, he is often called upon to offer ceremonial prayers at inter-tribal events.
