In-Conference Field Trip

Indian culture and history at Nez Perce National Historical Park
For thousands of years the valleys, prairies, mountains and plateaus of the inland northwest have been home to the Nimpiipuu or Nez Perce people. Today, 38 sites for the Nez Perce National historical park are scattered across Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana and have been designated to commemorate the stories and history of the Nimpiipuu and their interaction with explorers, fur traders, missionaries, soldiers, gold miners, and farmers who moved through, or into the area. We will visit the visitor center and park Headquarters in Spalding, Idaho to learn about the local area, the Nez Perce people and the war of 1877.

We will travel by safe custom-designed jet boats, with comfortable seating and on-board restroom facilities. The Hells Canyon National Recreation area is managed by the Wallowa-Whitman National forest.
