  • View the 2015 Summer B.O.D. Meeting Minutes
    “On the Trail” NPTF Photo The Quarterly Newsletter of the Nez Perce Trail Foundation • Ocial Partner of the Nez Perce National Historic Trail • Ta’yam (Summer) 2015 President’s Message Dear fellow Nez Perce Trail Foundation members, With the end of summer, it might be a good time to begin planning for 2016. As we look back, the Nez Perce Trail Foundation has experienced a tremendous amount of success relative to our re-organization efforts. The down side of 2015 was that actual “on the trail” improvements and upkeep was at a stand still for several reasons. The worst thing that could happen to the Nez Perce Trail did happen. The fire season of 2015 will not be forgotten for years to come. We have witnessed some of the most disastrous fires throughout the Northwest this year, and the Forest Service resources have been stretched beyond reasonable expectations. The financial strain that has been placed on the U.S. Forest Service will inevitably mean that services, programs, and facilities will be lost or cut back severely. Jim Zimmerman, The USFS is forced to utilize their own budget to combat these annual fires. That is much different than how other President NPTF natural disasters are financially dealt with such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, or floods. Those disasters are funded by way of a completely different procedure and revenue source, and in most cases, involve FEMA. I have personally lobbied House and Senate members to consider funding fire disasters through a separate line item account so that the Forest Service can continue to provide the services and management of our resources as intended.

  • Sacred Trails
    Sacred Trails “The Land unites us with [our] across time, keeping our culture alive…… We live in the place our ancestors called home before the great pyramids of Egypt were built.” Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee First Encounter of Horse Nation Native Americans have always believed that animal creatures were part of the living community. When Native Americans first encountered the horse they called them Horse Nation and they found an ally, inspiration and a tool that would transform their world. By the 1800’s Natives had used the horse nation as survival and sustaining their culture. Native Americans honored the horse and invited the horse into their spiritual lives. The horse continued to have a close relationship with the Native Americans. Horse Dominates North America In the 1500’s Spanish Conquistadors used the horse as a powerful weapon to take over the new lands in North America. Some of the horse were captured or ran away and the Native American tamed, trained and blessed the horses into their everyday lives. The horses move across the entire North American continent and become a powerful tool against invaders. By the 1700’s many native tribes had their own horse nation. The horse nation strengthened the native tribes by becoming an integral part of their community and spiritual life. 1 Sacred Trails The Walla Walla Council of 1855 The Walla Walla Council was held on the banks of Mill Creek a tributary of the Walla Walla River. Governor Stevens the Governor of Washington and the Superintendent of Indian Affairs devoted much of his time to setting up councils between the tribes of Washington Territory.

  • NEZ PERCE ...Through the Big Hole, Horse Prairie and Lemhi Valleys -1877
    Auto Tour the plight op The NEZ PERCE ...through the Big Hole, Horse Prairie and Lemhi Valleys -1877 United States Forest Beaverhead-Deerlodge Department of Service National Agriculture Forest n August 1877, the tranquility of the Big Hole Valley was shattered by the sound of gunfire as a battle erupted between J five bands of Nez Perce Indians and U.S. military forces along the banks of the Big Hole River. For valley settlers, anxiety turned to fear and concern as nearly 800 Nez Perce men, woman and children gathered their wounded and fled southward towards Skinner Meadows and the country beyond. Today, you can retrace the route used by the Nez Perce and their military pursuers. This brochure describes the Nez Perce (Nee- Me-Poo) National Historic Trail between Big Hole National Batttlefield, Montana and Leadore, Idaho. The map shows the auto tour route in detail. Auto Tour Route - This designated auto route stays on all-weather roads and allows you to experience the Nez Perce Trail from a distance. The auto tour route is passable for all types of vehicles. An alternative route exists from Lost Trail Pass on the Montana/Idaho border south to Salmon and Leadore, Idaho along Hwy. 93 and 28. Adventure Route - For those seeking the most authentic historic route, a rough two lane road, connects Jackson, Montana and the Horse Prairie Valley. Examine the map carefully and watch for signs. You may want to take a more detailed Forest Map. The adventure route is usually passable from July to October. It is not recommended for motor homes or vehicles towing trailers.
