DESCRIPTORS *American Indians; Educational Facilities; Field Trips; *Government Role; Historic Sites; Indigenous Populations; *National Parks; *United States History; *War IDENTIFIERS Nez Perce (Tribe); Site Visits ABSTRACT Few places in the west are as evocative of the tragic story of the Indian Wars as Big Hole (Montana) National Battlefield. The site memorializes the bravery of the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers and volunteers who fought there during the epic flight of the Nez Perce in 1877. Big Hole preserves the scene of one of the most famous battles of the Indian Wars. This administrative history is divided into chronological chapters, with each chapter divided into topical sections and subsections. A chronological organization highlights two salient themes in Big Hole National Battlefield's administrative development:(1) its long evolution as a small unit assigned to a succession of federal agencies (the War Department, the Forest Service, and the National Park Service); and (2) the close connection that exists between its land base, interpretive (education) program, and resource management.

  • Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report
    United States Department of Agriculture Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report Winter 2020 Administrator ’s Corner Happy New Year! This is a great time to reflect on last year and anticipate what the New Year will bring. Every New Year brims with possibility, but 2020 is definitely going to be the year of the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT)! I’d like to show my gratitude to the hardworking people of the NPNHT. To all who help us with creating the quarterly Progress Reports, from our inter-agency colleagues to our partners throughout the trail system, thank you! The work we do relies on partnerships and leveraging resources. I continue to be so inspired by the dedicated, passionate people who are all working toward a common goal-to create success for the NPNHT through re-opening segments of trail, and projects including heritage tourism as appropriate. There’s never and “I” in Trail development. It’s always a ‘we game.’ Photo Courtesy of Kristine Komar PhotoCourtesy Kristine of We had a productive year in 2019! We were able, with help from Hamilton Montana Mayor Dominic A. our partners, to conduct educational and stewardship outings, trail Farrenkopf (center) with local youth opening the NPNHT Agent of Discovery game at maintenance, re-opening of three more trail miles, and launching Riverside Park in Hamilton. our Agents of Discovery with our Partners, Ravalli County Museum, Travelers’ Rest, Bitterroot National Forest, St. Mary’s Mission and the U.S. Forest Service Washington office.
