The Nez Perce National Historical Park is a national historical park that is made up of 38 different sites and spans four states, namely Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Established in 1965, the sections include traditional aboriginal lands of the Nez Perce people, who lived on the property for thousands of years and were pursued by U.S. Army cavalry forces, fighting numerous battles against them. The park headquarters are based Spalding, Idaho, and a museum was opened here in 1983. The 38 sites of the Nez Perce National Historical Park commemorate the culture and the history of the Nimiipuu and their interaction with the pioneers, farmers, fur traders, explorers, missionaries, and settlers who moved through the area.
