Nespelem

A community on the Colville Native American Reservation northeast of the Columbia River. It is a tribal name and means of large, open meadow, or big, flat land describing a large meadow adjoining the town. In 1841, the word evidently sounded like Spillnin to members of the Wilkes Expedition who charted it.
