SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The McCall Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is requesting approval to submit an application to the Idaho Humanities Council Opportunity Grant program for $1000 to support a presentation
by Nez Perce Tribe Cultural Resources Program Director Nakia Williamson as part of upcoming McCall History Bicycle Tour events. The bike tours are being promoted in partnership with
the City’s recreation programs and organized by HPC members. Staff and volunteer in-kind time will be used to document the 1:1 required grant match.
The HPC is planning to hold two bike tours of key local historical sites and buildings on July 17 and September 11, 2021, beginning at 10:00 am. A stop along the bike route will include
Rotary Park where participants view a cambium peeled Ponderosa Pine tree and Nakia Williamson will discuss the significance of the peeled cambium tree as it relates to local Indigenous
culture.
A draft bike tour map with list of stops, and information about cambium bark peeling are attached. More information about the Idaho Humanities Council Opportunity Grant program can be
