Nez Perce National Historical Park preserves a continuum of at least 11,000 years of Nez Perce culture. The Park was established as a unit of the National Park Service on May 15, 1965, by Public Law 89-19. At its establishment, Nez Perce National Historical Park consisted of 24 sites. In 1992, Congress passed legislation expanding the park to include 14 additional sites across Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, for a total of 38 sites. As part of this expansion, Big Hole National Battlefield, a distinct unit of the National Park Service, was added to Nez Perce National Historical Park as an administrative unit.
