The Nez Perce Trail Historical Markers

The Nez Perce War of 1877 saw the Niimíipuu leave their home near Enterprise, Oregon and flee through Idaho and Wyoming in order to avoid being put on a new reservation, before their defeat in northwestern Montana and exile. Nez Perce National Historic Park has 38 separate sites dedicated to the Nez Perce flight, to which are added numerous state and local monuments.
