Digging Your Own DugoutWhen the Corps of Discovery reached the camp (now known as Canoe Camp) near what is now Orofino, ID, the Nez Perce Indians taught the explorers how to turn timber into transportation.
The dugout canoes made there became the main mode of transit down the Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers.
Visit this site to find out how it was done then and how it will be done again this summer for The Lewis & Clark Experience!
