Kah-Nee-Ta Resort

Kah-Nee-Ta Resort is a sovereign-owned geothermal resort of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, situated at the convergence of the Warm Springs River with the Deschutes River canyon in the high desert of central Oregon, where the tribal nations of the Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute peoples have maintained cultural sovereignty over this sacred landscape since the Warm Springs Treaty of 1855. The resort's bicarbonate mineral spring waters—warm and lithium-bearing, rising from the geothermal gradient of the Cascade volcanic arc—fill Olympic-sized outdoor pools while providing economic sovereignty for the tribal community whose cultural heritage is displayed in the award-winning Museum at Warm Springs nearby. The high desert landscape of sagebrush canyons, the Deschutes River's world-class fly fishing, and the profound significance of a resort representing Native American economic self-determination in the Pacific Northwest give Kah-Nee-Ta a thermal wellness experience connected to America's deepest historical currents.
