Gather your friends and family at Nez Perce National Historical Park to learn about traditional food gathering! Guest speaker Gwen Carter will discuss Nez Perce foods and food related practices on September 7 at 10:00 AM to 11:30 PM and September 10 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM  in the visitor center.
The tradition of being self-reliant was a common practice for the Nez Perce people, who for centuries utilized local food sources. Gwen was fortunate to grow up learning from her grandmothers who held immense cultural knowledge. She gained appreciation for these traditional arts and practices and wants to share them with you. Gwen will demonstrate and discuss tools used to gather various roots, berries and assorted plants.
