Each July, the Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland becomes a place of reunion for descendants of the original inhabitants of walĂĄwa, the Wallowa country. The Tamkaliks Celebration is a celebration and recognition of the continuing Nez Perce presence in the Wallowa valley. Year after year, participants enjoy three-days of song and dance, culminating in a walasit service and Friendship feast where descendants, locals, and visitors come together. Competiton dancing is a big draw where you’ll see dancers of all ages in beautiful regalia compete for prize money. This event serves as a way for the Nez Perce people to honor their history and traditions.
