Highlights of Cultural Heritage- IDAHO
Kooskia NFH: Kooskia National Fish Hatchery is a land with a past. There is evidence that the Nimiipuu, also known today as the Nez Perce, have made use of the abundant plant and wildlife resources here for over 4000 years. It is also the site of a tragic and unprovoked attack on the village of Chief Looking Glass on the eve of the Nez Perce War of 1877. The land's metamorphosis continued with a stint as the Twin Feathers Saw Mill during the 1940s before it assumed its current role as a hatchery for spring Chinook salmon. Today, an interpretive trail along the old Mill Pond offers opportunities to see wildlife at the confluence of Clear Creek and the Middle Fork of the Clearwater River and to imagine what life was like there in the past.
