JOSEPH — The Nez Perce Friendship Feast, a signature event during Chief Joseph Days, has a longstanding history of creating deeper friendships between descendants of the Nez Perce tribe and local people.
Jean Pekarek, one of the organizers of the feast, said the Nez Perce Friendship Feast got its start in 1988 when a member of the Umatilla Tribe thought of a way to build a stronger connection between Native tribes and locals.
