Nez Perce National Historical Park
Reptiles
The Nimiipuu learned to live with reptiles including sagebrush lizard, horned lizard, and rattlesnake. Young Nimiipuu were taught to respect all wildlife and the importance of their role in the cycle of life.
In June 2005, this buffalo hide tipi was put up for the first time in fifty years.
