I posted this on a local facebook group page and a Nez Perce lady responded : Hey, friends, yes, this is Nez Perce Tribal land, it is the Stites Presbyterian Church where the Nez Perce Christians came to worship. We sang English and NiMiiPuu Translated hymns of The Holy Trinity. Generations have come to this church over the years.
I am proud and honored that my grandfather and family were primary Stewards of this place of worship, by coordinating worship, music, holiday praises, joy of food and fellowship, heartfelt farewells to loved ones God has called home. Holds “Precious Memories”:

I really don't know. It's not in use now as far as I know. The driveway is grown over with grass, and someone mows it along with the rest of the yard.....I didn't stay long enough to see if there's a cemetery nearby to possibly get a rough date by the grave stones.
