Nez Perce National Historical Park

For thousands of years the valleys, prairies and plateaus of north central Idaho and northeastern Oregon have been home to the Nez Perce people. Today's Reservation is located in north central Idaho where the National Park Service has the headquarters for Nez Perce National Historical Park, which features 38 sites, scattered across four states. Many sites tell of Nez Perce legends and history while others cover their interactions with fur traders, missionaries, soldiers, settlers and explorers. Lewis and Clark's travels through Nez Perce country are featured at the Lolo Trail, Weippe Prairie, Canoe Camp and Long Camp sites. A visitor center at Spalding has brochures, museum exhibits, a film, bookstore and Ranger-led programs daily at 11, 1:00 and 3:00 in the summer.
