Stacia Morfin, (Nez Perce) CEO, Nez Perce Tourism, LLC, started the woman-and-native-owned cultural tour company, Nez Perce Tourism, which shares the unique stories of the Nimiipuu people.

From mountain tops to river beds, the overall goal for Nez Perce Tourism, LLC, is to imprint Nimiipuu legacy into the spirit of each individual guest by introducing the power of place.
