The Nez Perce often traveled their land for various reasons. They would follow the heards of buffalo and moved seasonally for food. Nez Perce people used travois to transport goods and travel on their lands.

I learned that the Nez Perce often used travois to get many things around their homeland. Travois were often pulled by dogs or horses. Travois had little seats for children in the back.

The Nez Perce often traveled on travois its like a sled pulled by 2 long poles that would often put their belongings in the middle and the children. They would also follow herds of buffalo.They also made bags to carry the food and clothing. when they were near the river or lake they would make small boats from what ever was available to them.They would ride those boats and also trade with them.

The Nimiipuu had to get around to go hunting, exploring, and other things. These are theey ways that they did so:

Travois. Travois were sleds that the Nez Perce used to carry goods. It would be pulled by a dog or horse.
Horses
The Nimiipuu used horses themselves to get around as well, not to just pull travois. Spanish ships brought the horses, and they Nimiipuu used them.

Nimiipuu: Nez Perce
Travois: Sleds that the Native Americans used to carry goods.

The Nez Perce people would always travel around for many reasons. The most common thing they used to get around was called a travois. They would use a travois to transport goods and food. The travois was pulled by dogs or maybe a horse, and their was a spot for kids in the back of the travois. They would travel to find good food, and follow the buffalo.

I learned that the Niimiipuu used travois to carry their belongings.Most of the time the travois would be pulled by a horse or dog.Some times the Niimiipuu put tiny pole carriages on top of the travois so that children could ride in. The Niimiipuu used horses to get themselves around.Spanish ships brought in horses to the New World.That is what I learned about how the Niimiipuu got around.

The Nez Perce made large and small bags, or suitcases, that are like envelopes to store their clothing. They would also be stacked on a travois for moving, and they would use dogs to pull the travois.
