Nez Pearce St. Louis Warriors Memorial

In 1837 four Nez Pearce Indians, who had befriended Lewis & Clark on their historic journey, later traveled to visit General Clark at his post near St. Louis, Missouri.  They never returned to their home in Idaho.  This memorial tells their story in over one thousand letters and two interlocking feathers.  The feathers are tied together with a leather band that represents the tribe’s love for their fallen braves.  One feather represents the four who traveled and one feather represents the tribe that they never returned to.
