Plateau Peoples' Web Portal: a collaboratively curated and reciprocally managed archive of Plateau cultural materials "held in multiple repositories including WSU's Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections, the Northwest Museum of Art and Culture, the National Anthropological Archives and the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian Institution. The materials in the Portal have been chosen and curated by tribal representatives. Each item has one or more records associated with it as well as added traditional knowledge and cultural narratives to enhance and enrich understanding to many audiences." Resources include video, photos, and documents arranged by category, collection, and "tribal path". Primary tribal paths represented are Nimíipuu [Nez Perce], Spokane, Yakama, Umatilla, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, schitsu'umsh [Coeur d'Alene], and Séliš u Ql̓ispé. "As a matter of sovereignty and respect, each tribal path follows the protocols of the tribes, allows for tribal curation of materials, and defines access based on cultural values."
