The Nez Perce moved from place to place depending on the season of the year. Sometimes, they would go east to the Great Plains in Montana to hunt buffalo or west to the Columbia River to fish for salmon. In winter, the Nez Perce would have winter camps where they would return every year. They were known for their riding ability and fast horses. When traveling, the Nez Perce would use tipis or tents made from hides. The tipis could be moved easily from place to place.
