Allen Pinkham Sr. is a member of the Nez Perce tribe, which is a Native American people living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The exact name of his tribal village is not universally recognized in public records since traditionally, the Nez Perce would have seasonal dwellings and moved around the region.

However, if you are looking for a more contemporary context, the Nez Perce Tribe currently has a reservation located in Idaho, called the Nez Perce Reservation. Within this reservation, there are several communities that could be considered "tribal villages." For instance, the largest community is Lewiston, but there are also other smaller towns and communities such as Lapwai, which is the seat of the tribal government, and others like Kamiah, and Nezperce.

Please keep in mind that Allen Pinkham might have different associations with various places within Nez Perce lands, and for the most accurate information, it would be best to refer to a direct source or communication from him or the Nez Perce Tribe.

Extra: The Nez Perce tribe, known to themselves as Niimíipuu, which means "the people" in their language, has a rich cultural heritage and history that is deeply connected to the lands of the Pacific Northwest, primarily areas of what are now Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. They traditionally lived in villages along rivers like the Clearwater and the Snake, and their lifestyles were closely tied to the seasons and natural resources, with practices like fishing, hunting, and gathering being central to their ways of life.

Their history includes the renowned story of the 1877 conflict known as the Nez Perce War when the Nez Perce, including Chief Joseph, defied the U.S. Government's attempts to forcibly relocate them from their homelands to a reservation in Idaho. This led to a remarkable flight over 1,400 miles across several states, which ended in their surrender just short of the Canadian border.

Modern Nez Perce communities continue to uphold many of their cultural traditions, celebrate their heritage, and actively manage their sovereign territory within the Nez Perce Reservation. They focus on education, preserving their language and traditions, and maintaining their legal rights and land through political and social activism.
