Our Chapter has chosen the Nez Perce tribe to fashion our ceremony teams after.
The Nez Perce's name for themselves is Ni mii puu, which means simply "the people", or "we the people".
The name "Nez Perce" (meaning "pierced nose") is derived from the French, a name inspired by nose pendants some of them wore,
although this practice was more common among tribes downriver.
