Extractions: Majestic, inspiring, and seductive, the Rocky Mountains dominate the American mid-western landscape. These mountain ranges are America's greatest natural wonder and house many of the nation's national parks, including the first designated national park, and most famous, Yellowstone. The Rockies are home to a vast array of wildlife and provide a temporary refuge to millions of tourists who seek to hike its peaks, ski its slopes or ride its rivers. But the Rockies can be as dangerous as they are beautiful. Sudden changes in weather and conditions can quickly turn a pleasure excursion into a struggle for survival. The Rockies would be useful for classes on American History, American Culture, Natural History, Ecology, and Geography. It is appropriate for middle school and high school. War and Disaster This episode examines the role of natural and man-made disasters in the Rocky Mountains. As westward expansion escalated in the nineteenth century, confrontations between white Americans and Native Americans increased. The United States government instituted a series of Indian policies to deal with the situation and the ever-increasing desire of white Americans for Native American lands. The solutionthe Indian reservation. OBJECTIVES: Students will examine the history and cultural impact of America's greatest mountain ranges. They will explore the terrain of the ranges as well as the role of the Rocky Mountains in American history and American culture.

Extractions: Nez Perce Indians Visit the Nez Perce Indians Homepage Landscape of Imagination To understand the Nez Perce people you must first understand their landscape. Legends of their cultural ties to land run as deep as the canyons of the nearby Clearwater River. The stir of animals in the forest and the glint of fish signal the beginning of harvest or herald the coming of significant events. Forests, rivers, and mountains remain the great cathedrals, the holy places of worship and growth. Spend some time in the shadows of Nez Perce land and you will experience the same sacredness. Everyone is Welcome Several times of year the Nez Perce hold celebrations to honor their rich Native American culture. Dressed in their colorful regalia, Native Americans from across the Northwest gather either in nearby Lapwai or up the river in Kamiah for several days to celebrate. Drums can be heard throughout the region during the celebrations and the voices of the singers mix in the air with the delicious smells of traditional foods. Many of the feasts mark the arrival of edible plants and the run of salmon along the big rivers. People of Two Worlds The Nez Perce nation of north central Idaho is as diverse a culture as you will find in North America. Do not look for stereotypes or Hollywood images. If you look carefully you will find a people of two cultures, with feet firmly planted in both worlds and an eye toward the future.

http://www.pbs.org/lewisandclark/native/nez.html

Extractions: 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. Like their Shoshone neighbors, the Nez Perce were without guns or ammunition. This left them vulnerable to their enemies, who could obtain weapons from Canadian traders, and it threatened their ability to hunt buffalo. The Nez Perce had heard about the expedition and had looked for the Corps to bring them the guns they needed. Every year, Nez Perce hunters would cross over the difficult Bitterroot Mountains and hunt buffalo. By late September 1805, the Corps of Discovery had completed the same grueling passage by following the Lolo Trail used by the Nez Perce. Nez Perce Baby That month, three young Nez Perce boys spotted Captain William Clark and a few men approaching the cluster of Nez Perce lodges. Clark and the men had pushed ahead of the Corps to seek out the Nez Perce. The boys were frightened and hid in the tall prairie grass, but Clark found them and offered each a ribbon, signaling that friendly visitors had arrived. Many of the Nez Perce men were away on a raid and would not return for two weeks. But the Nez Perce were not frightened of the white men and treated them to a filling meal of buffalo, dried salmon, and camas bread.

http://www.thewildwest.org/native_american/faces/Joseph.html

Extractions: He ultimately became famous as "Chief Joseph," but the man born in the Wallowa Valley in what is now northeastern Oregon was also called Joseph and Joseph the Younger, as his father had been baptized with that Christian name before Chief Joseph was born. However, at the time of his birth in 1840, the Nez Pierce (nay pehr-SAY) called Chief Joseph, Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt, which translates as "thunder coming up over the land from the water" or "thunder coming down the mountain." As a tribe, the Nez Perce had been on good terms with white Europeans after Lewis and Clark opened their lands in Idaho and Washington to exploration. Chief Joseph's father, Old Joseph, signed an 1855 treaty that guaranteed the Nez Perce the rights to their homelands, and, as Old Joseph also converted to Christianity, Chief Joseph attended school in a Christian mission. But after a gold rush that identified Nez Perce lands as prime mining territory, the white government created a second treaty in 1863 that took most of the traditional lands away from the Nez Perce, including their beloved Wallowa Valley. The tribe was left with a tenth of what had originally been promised them, all in Idaho. Old Joseph always insisted his people never agreed to any conditions of this treaty and turned away from cooperation with whites, refusing to acknowledge and sign the treaty, burning his American flag and Bible and refusing to move his people. Upon his father's death, Chief Joseph took his place as chief and his own strong feelings about the validity of the second treaty would shape his life and change the interaction between the Nez Perce and whites forever. He became highly resistant to government attempts to corral his people onto a reservation even as white settlers streamed into the territory.

http://www.nezperce.com/nptriumph-summary.html

Extractions: Nez Perce Triumph at Clarks Fork Canyon has at its foundation 14 years of archival research and fieldwork. It was always believed that archival research would enable us to determine the routes followed by the Nez Perce, which it did. However, not only was this true; but, in addition, research brought to light important historical information as yet unpublished which enables the reader to better understand the Nez Perce struggle to protect their ancestral lands. At the same time, a greater sensitive to the determination of the military forces aligned against Nez Perce to destroy them emerges. The Yellowstone story begins with an examination of why so many authors and historians came to so many different conclusions about the Nez Perce routes in Yellowstone and the Nez Perce story in Yellowstone by starting with the view of Native Americans held by Superintendent Norris as well as his conclusions about the routes they followed through Yellowstone. This provides an opportunity to examine the significance of Yellowstone to Native Americans, which unfortunately had been misunderstood and mis-characterized.
