Asahkaiowaipu

The Asahkaiowaipu were a Nez Perce people whose winter village lay at Ahsahka, where the North Fork joins the Clearwater River. Their country included Bruce Eddy, an important fishing place where neighboring groups could fish by invitation. Farther south, the camas grounds of Weippe Prairie drew families to gather roots; there members of the Lewis and Clark expedition met Nez Perce people in 1805.
