About 4,000 in number, they were excellent horsemen and owned the largest horse herd on the continent. They fished for salmon along the Clearwater and Snake rivers, and harvested camas plants in mountain meadows. Like their Shoshone neighbors, the Nez Perce were without guns or ammunition. This left them vulnerable to their enemies, who could obtain weapons from Canadian traders, and it threatened their ability to hunt buffalo. The Nez Perce had heard about the expedition and had looked for the Corps to bring them the guns they needed. Every year, Nez Perce hunters would cross over the difficult Bitterroot Mountains and hunt buffalo. By late September 1805, the Corps of Discovery had completed the same grueling passage by following the Lolo Trail used by the Nez Perce. Nez Perce Baby That month, three young Nez Perce boys spotted Captain William Clark and a few men approaching the cluster of Nez Perce lodges. Clark and the men had pushed ahead of the Corps to seek out the Nez Perce. The boys were frightened and hid in the tall prairie grass, but Clark found them and offered each a ribbon, signaling that friendly visitors had arrived.

Nez Perce Tribe How do you pronounce the word "Nez Perce"? What does it mean? It is pronounced "nezz purse." It comes from the French name for the tribe, Nez Percé (pronounced nay per-say.) Nobody knows why the French called them this. It means "pierced nose," but the Nez Perce people say that unlike some neighboring tribes, they have never had a tribal tradition of pierced noses. Maybe the French confused the Nez Perce with another tribe, or maybe there was once a Nez Perce band or individual who had nose piercings. The Nez Perce name for themselves is Nimipu , which means "the people."

Howard's attempt to forcibly remove his band and the other "non-treaty" Natives to a reservation in Idaho . For his principled resistance to the removal, he became renowned as a humanitarian and peacemaker. He wanted to retain the land of his ancestors, while also hoping to avoid warfare with encroaching whites. He only resorted to conflict when making concessions was no longer a viable option. He would become a mythical figure in the United States , as people attempted to seek out a Native American folk hero with whom they could identify. Until his death, he would put this image of himself to use in an attempt to gain greater privileges for his beloved followers, dedicating a great deal of his time and effort to promoting racial equality and petitioning for land rights.

Nez Perce Tribe Visit the Nez Perce Tribe's Homepage Landscape of Imagination To understand the Nez Perce people you must first understand their landscape. Legends of their cultural ties to land run as deep as the canyons of the nearby Clearwater River. The stir of animals in the forest and the glint of fish signal the beginning of harvest or herald the coming of significant events. Forests, rivers, and mountains remain the great cathedrals, the holy places of worship and growth. Spend some time in the shadows of Nez Perce land and you will experience the same sacredness. Everyone is Welcome Several times of year the Nez Perce hold celebrations to honor their rich Native American culture. Dressed in their colorful regalia, Native Americans from across the Northwest gather either in nearby Lapwai or up the river in Kamiah for several days to celebrate. Drums can be heard throughout the region during the celebrations and the voices of the singers mix in the air with the delicious smells of traditional foods. Many of the feasts mark the arrival of edible plants and the run of salmon along the big rivers. People of Two Worlds The Nez Perce nation of north central Idaho is as diverse a culture as you will find in North America. Do not look for stereotypes or Hollywood images. If you look carefully you will find a people of two cultures, with feet firmly planted in both worlds and an eye toward the future.
