Nimíipuu
The word Nimíipuu is the indigenous term used by the tribe since time immemorial, meaning "the people"; while the term "Nez Perce" derives from French-speaking traders of the early nineteenth century who erroneously called them "Pierced Noises," a custom that was in fact seldom practiced by the Nimíipuu.
