It was on September 20, 1805 that the Lewis and Clark Expedition were saved from the brink of starvation by the Nez Perce Indians in the Present-day Weippe Prairie. It was the Camas root and dried fish that no doubt saved them. The Camas root made up a good portion of Nez Perce diet. Not to different from the potatoes that are being harvested here in the Baker City Valley.
