    Cultural quillwork, beadwork is beautiful

    Really Great Overview of the Park

    There's free maps, lots of fancy books in the gift shop, and the ranger I spoke with was really knowledgeable. There's a small gallery and a 15-minute video on preserving the language that's informative and moving.

    Bucolic setting

    This review pertains specifically to the Spalding site, about ten miles east of Lewiston, ID. It seems a little silly that dozens of sites across hundreds of miles and four states are lumped together under one park name. Seems a recipe for confusion. Anyway, the...More
