Among the NiMiiPuu [Nez Perce], children are a gift from the Creator. They are the link which extends our cultural heritage into the future.  Each child is the center of a circle with deep relations to his biological parents, blood relations and tribal family.  The Nez Perce Tribe Child Support Program assists both parents in nurturing and providing for their children.
