Chief Joseph __ "Suppose a white man

I say to him, “No, my horses suit me; I will not sell them.”...Then he goes to
my neighbor and says, “Pay me money, and I will sell you Joseph’s horses.”...The
white man returns to me and says, “Joseph, I have bought your horses and you
must let me have them.”...If we sold our lands to the government, this is the
way they bought them." More about this great man here. - From Powersource.com -

__ An excellent
overview of the Nez Perce. "The Nez Perce Indians lived in scattered villages in
the Plains west of the Rocky Mountains. About 4,000 in number, they were
excellent horsemen and owned the largest horse herd on the continent. They
fished for salmon along the Clearwater and Snake rivers, and harvested camas
plants in mountain meadows." - illustrated - From PBS -

National Geographic: Lewis & Clark Tribes Nez Perce Indians
__ "As typical
plateau Indians, the Nez Perce fished the Clearwater and Snake Rivers and
harvested camas roots. When Clark and other members of the expedition emerged
exhausted and starved from their journey through the Bitterroot Mountains, the
Nez Perce greeted them with dried buffalo, camas root bread, and fish.
Unfortunately this rich diet had an adverse effect on the digestive systems of
the explorers." This tid-bit and more. - illustrated - From National Geographic

sustenance. Even the traditional Nez Perce calendar is interwoven with the
surrounding landscape." A great introduction to the Nez Perce - illustrated -
