Kamiah, Idaho
Kamiah Idaho 83536
Kamiah is figuratively and literally the heart of Nez Perce Country, and from 14 May 1806 until 10 June 1806, the expedition waited here at Long Camp for the Bitterroot Mountain snow to melt. City Park has restrooms, picnic tables, and some great murals and other art interpreting life for the nimíipuu here.
Kamiah (pronounced KAM-ee-eye) is the ancestral home of the Nez Perce people. It is here that Lewis & Clark spent the spring of 1806 with the NiMiiPuu while waiting for the snow to melt in the Bitterroot Mountains. The town is located on the banks of the Clearwater River where the Lewis and Clark Expedition had their longest encampment outside of their winter forts.
