The Shahaptin or Nez Perce tribe (and their close relatives the Umatilla) were typical Plateau people, much influenced by the Plains culture further east. Many Nez Perce items (shirts, leggings, dresses, cradleboards and horse gear) were either directly copied from the Crows or obtained in trade from the Crows.

Two items made by Nez Perce women were very distinctive of the tribe and not taken from Plains culture: basket hats and woven cornhusk bags with traditional designs of dyed fibres (later of coloured wool yarn). No Nez Perce woman considered herself properly dressed without a hat or bag - both items continued being made in reservation days, long after other traditional items stopped being produced.

Shell disks cut from abalone and other large coastal shells were very much a favourite for necklaces and earrings among both men and women.

The Nez Perce constructed dugout canoes, mainly for river fishing. Bows and arrows were made by the men for hunting and war; feather headdresses were adopted from the Plains culture.

Did the nez perce make kachina dolls?

No, the Nez Perce did not traditionally make kachina dolls. Kachina dolls are primarily associated with the Hopi and other Pueblo tribes of the Southwest United States, where they are used in religious ceremonies and storytelling. The Nez Perce, located in the Pacific Northwest, had different cultural practices and artistic expressions that were distinct from those of the Pueblo peoples.
