The tribe I chose to research is the Nez Perce Tribe, located primarily in Idaho.
The treaty involving this tribe is the Treaty of 1855, which established a large reservation for the Nez Perce but was later violated by the U.S. government when gold was discovered on their land, leading to the Treaty of 1863 that significantly reduced their territory.
The tribe provides the following services: health and wellness programs, educational scholarships, cultural preservation initiatives, and economic development opportunities to enhance the quality of life for their members.
Currently, the Nez Perce Tribe is focused on topics such as environmental conservation, cultural revival, natural resource management, and enhancing tribal sovereignty to better address the needs of their community and preserve their heritage.
