Nimi'puu is the Nez Perce tribe's name for themselves. It means (as so many native self-designations do)"the people", or "true people".
The term Nez Perce was applied by French explorers who saw the sign language gesture for this tribe (a finger thrust close under the nose) and thought it meant "pierced noses" - it actually meant "these warriors do not flinch even from an arrow passing under the nose".
