Nez Perce

Lewis and Clark visited the Nez Perce twice. The first trip was preparing for the road ahead. They made canoes, traded goods like guns for food, and began to make friendships. The second time around they traded goods and partied. The second trip was like a break for the discovery.







Lewis and Clark used five canoes on their discovery across the country. They made them by chopping trees and burning out some of the tree to make the canoe. Thanks to the Nez Perce they continued the discovery.










The Nez Perce the horses for almost everything,

The Nez Perce lived in tepees like the one you see to the right.
