“In 2024, the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios (HAHS) program welcomed the Lelooska Foundation and Cultural Center as one of its first Indigenous sites since the program’s founding in 2000.

Located in Ariel, Washington, and renowned for its diverse collection of Indigenous art and artifacts, as well as live dance and storytelling performances, the Lelooska Foundation and Cultural Center is looking forward to a new era of growth and transformation with HAHS support.”
