Tsceminicum
"Meeting of the Waters"

When the Nez Perce named this site, they viewed a desolate yet beautiful landscape.

Near a large island at the confluence, crystal waters from the Clearwater joined the murky flow of the Snake.  Scattered willows grew along the broad river banks.  Grass-covered, treeless hills defined the perimeter.  Today, a dam to the west elevates the rivers forty feet above their beds. ~ text of marker
