Kamiah

The landscape around Kamiah is a river valley enclosed by forested hills, which has shaped both the town’s layout and local economy. Set where Lawyer Creek meets the Clearwater River, Kamiah stands in north-central Idaho within the Nez Perce Reservation. Its name comes from the Nez Perce word for camas, a root long gathered here as an important food source. The Lewis and Clark Expedition camped near Kamiah during its 1806 return journey, adding another layer to the town’s connection with the region’s Indigenous and exploration history.
