They come from the East, the West, the South and the North - four rivers that converge in the
Western Treasure Valley, where Oregon borders Idaho.
For centuries, the Snake, the Malheur, the Owyhee and the Payette have supported life here, attracting people from all points of the compass. Four Rivers Cultural Center is named for these waterways. The rivers, in turn, represent the constant flow of people of varied ancestries - American Indian, Basque, European, Hispanic and Japanese - people who have made this a diverse and vital region that has opened its arm to many cultures and accepted their differences.
The stones featured in our logo come from each of the four rivers that flow into Western Treasure Valley. Like the cultures that have settled here, they are each distinctive, yet connected.
