Ahsakha Village Site
Lewis and Clark call this place Canoe Camp.
For 11 days in 1805 the Corps of Discovery camped here in the company of Nez
Perce while building five canoes for the journey to the Pacific. For
thousands of years before that, this river bank was the site of a thriving Nez
Perce village. But soon after Lewis and Clark visit, the Indians' longtime
connection to this place would change drastically. ~ text of marker
