Description
English:

Several pyramid-shaped lodges with structures of wooden poles mark the site of the historic encampment.

Big Hole National Battlefield Site. These represent the lodges of Chief Joseph (right) and Ollocot (left) at the Nez Perce encampment. When the group made camp here in August of 1877, most had been on the move since early June, forced by the U.S. Army to leave their homelands to the west and resettle on the Nez Perce Reservation in Idaho. As the group evaded capture, they fought a series of battles and skirmishes in Idaho before crossing the Bitterroot Mountains.
