Students were welcomed by National Park Service rangers and staff, watched a film in the visitor center auditorium, and learned about Nez Perce canoe traditions from Park Service staff member Jared Wicks. They also explored the Wetxuwíitin Collection through a presentation by Harry H. Slickpoo Jr., viewed exhibits, and visited the vault and archives with curator Kristine Leier.
Following the visit, Nez Perce Language 1 and 2 students shared their final project presentations with those in attendance. Projects ranged from housing label projects and interviews with elders to beadwork, Nez Perce history, legends, music, the lifecycle of the Chinook salmon, and even a special performance of “What a Wonderful World” translated into the Nez Perce language.
A meaningful day honoring language, history, and student voice.
