They come from the East, the West, the South and the North - four rivers that converge in the Western Treasure Valley, Malheur County, where Oregon borders Idaho. For centuries, the Snake River, the Malheur River, the Owyhee River and the Payette River 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 - Native Americans, Russian, Spanish, Brittish, Basque, European, French, Hispanic, and Japanese - people who have made this a diverse and vital region that has opened its arms to many culture and accepted their differences.
