Nez Perce

We recently did a unit study on the Nez Perce using Little School of Smiths American Girl history lessons. 

The Nez Percé are a Native American people who traditionally lived along the Snake River. The area where they lived is now Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Their name is French and means “pierced nose.” Nose piercing was not common among the Nez Percé, however.

After reading and watching videos the boys put together their notebooking page. 

We watched this video, which goes through the type of clothing, food, shelter, and location of this tribe. 

To complete this unit study the boys made tipis. Instructions for this activity are part of the lesson plans. This was their favorite part of the lesson.
