LEWISTON, Idaho -- Officials with the Talmaks Camp Association say their church camp site in north-central Idaho has been the site of vandalism for years.
Association President Maple Stuivenga told the Lewiston Tribune that the most recent indignity included an old refrigerator, toilet, windows and other debris dumped at the historic campground between Craigmont and Winchester. The Talmaks camp began in 1897 when the six Presbyterian churches on the Nez Perce Reservation came together for an annual meeting.
Stuivenga says she hopes the incidents aren't racially motivated, but others in the organization are convinced the vandalism is because it's an Indian campground.
Nez Perce Tribal Police Chief Leslie Hendrick says there are no suspects in the most recent vandalism case.
