Nez Perce National Historical Park
Cooperating Associations

The Northwest Interpretive Association (NWIA) and the Glacier Natural History Association (GNHA) are non-profit organizations dedicated to providing visitors with materials that promote a better understanding of the Nez Perce people, their culture and history.  NWIA is the partner for Nez Perce National Historical Park and GNHA supports Big Hole National Battlefield.

Funds raised through the sale of publications are returned to the parks to help support their interpretive and educational programs.  Projects that NWIA and GNHA have supported in the past include the publication of this newspaper, trail guides, curriculum guides, the purchase of books for the park’s libraries, and the purchase of digital camera equipment.

Enjoy the benefits of membership and help support your National Parks! There are many categories of membership available to meet your needs.  In return for your support, you will receive discounts on merchandise at sales outlets, newsletters so you can stay in touch with what’s going on, and the opportunity to attend annual meetings and membership events.

The Nez Perce often travelled great distances to fish with family and friends. They fished as far away as present day Willamette Falls, near Oregon City as well as Celilo and Kettle Falls to the north.
