The Nez Perce
settled on the
Columbia plateau
between the Cascade
Mountains and the
Rocky Mountains.

A plateau is a high, steep sided area
rising above the surrounding land.

The top of the plateau was mostly flat and
covered with thick prairie grasses.

Many rivers are found in the valleys of the region. The area
around the rivers is a thick forest. The Nez Perce used the
rivers and forests for food, shelter, and clothing.

The difference in altitude between the river valleys and the top of the plateau meant a difference
in temperature and climate. This benefited the Nez Perce because it gave them a longer period
of time to find the plants that they ate. Plants found in both locations might bloom at different
times. It also increased their resources because different plants and animals could also be found
in each location.

The Nez Perce
used to long
prairie grass to
weave mats and
baskets.

The mats were used to build their shelter.
They linked logs together and then covered the logs
with mats woven out of the prairie grasses.

This type of shelter was called the mat longhouse.
Each house could be up to 100 feet long.
Many families lived together in one house.

and had one of the largest herds in North America. In the 1700s, the Nez Perce acquired

How did horses change the way of life
for the Nez Perce?
Allowed them to travel farther and faster,
could carry a
heavier load, began traveling as far as
Great Plains to hunt
bison, traveled to neighboring tribes and
trading posts to trade goods

the land occupied by the
Nez Perce.

The Nez Perce believe that all things in
nature, such as rocks, animals, rivers, plants,
etc. had at one time had the characteristics of
humans
They believed that they could still
communicate with the human side of nature.
When children reached a certain age,
they would go into the forest for a
visionquest and seek supernatural
guidance from things in nature. This
guidance would determine their future
success within the tribe.
