Frank Buck

By 1984, at the time of this interview, the Wanapum Tribe numbered two full-blooded survivors. One was Frank Buck, 16 years old when the Army came to build the Hanford Engineer Works. He was the son of Chief Johnny Buck, who became a friend of many Hanford project people. Frank worked at the Wanapum Dam information center, upstream from Hanford, talk­ing to visitors about the history of his tribe.
