Ontario

Ontario is the gateway to arid desert beauty, stunning river canyons and towering mountain ranges.

For centuries, the Snake, Malheur, Owyhee and Payette Rivers have supported life in this area along the Oregon-Idaho border, attracting people from all points of the compass. Named for these waterways, the Four Rivers Cultural Center represents the constant flow of people of varied ancestries — American Indian, Basque, European, Hispanic, Japanese — who call this area home.
