Tales of the Land: Nez Perce Stories of Idaho
Legends and Lore Along the Lewis and Clark Trail
As the Lewis and Clark Expedition charted the vast landscapes of the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, their journey brought them into contact with numerous Native American tribes—each with rich cultural traditions and powerful oral histories. While the Corps of Discovery focused on exploration, mapping, and scientific discovery, their encounters along the trail offered a glimpse into the legends, stories, and spiritual beliefs deeply rooted in the lands they traversed. These stories, passed down through generations, continue to enrich the historical tapestry of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail.
