Support Our Vision
Hipéexnu' is a native led 501 (c)3 non profit organization.
The mission of Hipéexnu' derives from the humanitarian actions of the late Dr. Horace Axtell, a Niimiipuu (Nez Perce), and a life-time resident of Idaho. This non-profit will follow his example of dedicating his life to his family, people, culture, language, and waláhsat. The target population is all of the Columbia River Tribal youth.
Hipéexnu' is in its beginning stages with gigantic goals. One being that our children or grandchildren will one day, proudly say, "Nimiipuutimt is my first language!"
