Hello, ta’c leheyn. My name is Sam Penney. I am the Chairman of the Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee. I would like to welcome you to the Nez Perce web site as part of the Lewis and Clark Rediscovery Project. I encourage you to review this web site prior to coming to visit us in our country. We welcome you with open arms and hope you find the information on this web site useful.

It will give the tribal perspective regarding the coming of Lewis and Clark in 1805, and the much proud heritage we have as the Nez Perce people.

Again I encourage you to visit the web site, come learn about the Nez Perce people and our way of life, and why we are so proud to be called the Nez Perce people. Thank you and enjoy your visit.
