  • Summary

  • In a remote valley located near the Southwestern corner of Montana, Big Hole National Battlefield preserves the site of a bloody battle that took place during August of 1877 between the U.S Army and the Nez Perce (or Nimiipuu). Unable to avoid the unstoppable march of westward expansion and clashing of cultures, this battle was one of many in the Nez Perce War that plagued the Western United States during 1877. As of today, the battlefield sits as a reminder of the events that took place as well as honoring the lives lost on both sides. As an interpretive Ranger at this site, Suzanne Tarkulich has the important role of sharing the story and historical context of the battlefield. Join us as we discuss the nuance and challenges posed by such a sensitive and painful event in our history.
