Free Stuff FAQS Cool Places Services Privacy Questions? Native American history is a rich and varied history. Each tribe has its own history, with its own version of how the tribe and the world came about. In the west, most tribes lived near the mountains for summer hunting trips, and in valleys or on plains during the winter to avoid the deep snows and bitter cold in the mountains. Most of the history of native americans that the ordinary person knows about is from the movies, and literature. The rich culture that these tribes had is not as well known as the stereotypical native from movies. Buffalo Bill Cody became a friend to many native americans, mostly from the plains tribe, which has caused most people to think of the palins tribes as your typical native.

    Extractions: R.G. Robertson tells the story of the smallpox epidemic of 1837-1838 that forever changed the political and social structure of the Northern Plains Indian tribes. Before it ran out of human fuel, "Rotting Face," as it was called by natives, claimed an estimated 20,000 people. The epidemic did more damage in one year than all the military expeditions sent against the American Indian before or since. 6x9, hardcover, 350 pages, photographs, maps, bibliography, index.  Many Pacific Northwest cities and towns bear names linked to the American Indians who inhabited the region thousands of years before the arrival of European explorers and settlers. Sandy Nestor spent years gathering information about towns in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska with Indian names. She offers a brief history of each community, profiles of the founders and an explanation of the origins of the town name. 9x6, paperback, 312 pages, maps, 50 photographs.  From the meeting of the Lewis and Clark party in 1805 to the death of Chief Joseph in 1904, the story of the Nez Perce Indians is epic drama. No setting could be more spectacular than the rugged, beautiful homeland of this tribe. The drama intensified as the Nez Perce offered friendship to the white newcomers. Their friendship ended in the tragically bitter Nez Perce War. 9x12, 231 illustrations, 27 maps, 316 pages, bibliography, index, hardcover, boxed.

    Extractions: Introduction African Americans Women Native Americans Voters Today It's often overlooked that self-government in America was practiced by Native Americans, long before the formation of the United States government. Today, voting is our primary means of group decision making, of enacting legislation, and choosing leaders. Traditional decision making among native Americans differed from this system (and sometimes differed greatly from group to group). Here, Verne Ray describes the Nez Perce's form of government and illustrates how it changed between times of war and peace: Tribal organization was present among the Nez Perce since a tribal council whose decisions were binding upon all members of the group was coupled with an elective war chief with wide powers. Yet even here each village had its individual peace time chief with authority limited to his own village and during peace there was little relationship among villages. The tribal council was a gathering of select members of the tribe who convened to make decisions and elect chiefs. In addition to the political duties of these gatherings, tribal councils also had a certain ceremonial significance:

    Extractions: In the summer of 1877, bands of the Nez Perce Tribe (Nee-Me-Poo) defended themselves in a protracted military campaign with the United States government. The campaign lasted four months, beginning in Oregon and Idaho, and culminating with the surrender of many Nez Perce at the Bear's Paw Battlefield in Northern Montana. The route the Nez Perce followed from Oregon to Montana was designated as the Nez Perce National Historic Trail (Public Law 99-445) by the U.S. Congress on October 6, 1986.

    Extractions: April 23, 1999 The U.S. Treasury's Bureau of the Public Debt today unveiled the new Chief Joseph $200 denomination series I inflation-indexed savings bond at a ceremony in Lewiston, Idaho. The new $200 I Bond will go on sale May 1, 1999. The bond features a portrait of Chief Joseph and a background vignette of him mounted on an Appaloosa horse, known for being bred by the Nez Perce. Participating in today's event are Van Zeck, Commissioner of the Public Debt from Washington, D.C., Governor Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho, and Samuel Penney, Chairman of the Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee. Chief Joseph is one of eight distinguished Americans featured on the new I Bond. Though he consistently opposed war, when conflict became inevitable, Chief Joseph and other leaders led the Nez Perce on a courageous retreat in 1877 for more than a thousand miles through Montana and Idaho. After a five-day battle during freezing weather conditions with no food or blankets, only 30 miles from safety at the Canadian border, he surrendered out of concern for the women and children. In his final years, Chief Joseph spoke eloquently of the injustice of United States policy toward his people and held out hope that one day freedom and equality would come for Native Americans. "Chief Joseph's strong leadership and his belief in what was right for Native Americans represents an important part of this country's history and diverse strength," said Commissioner Zeck. "We are proud to be able to honor the country's past and at the same time help Americans save for their future."

    Extractions: With the Nez Perce During Allotment: E. Jane Gay, Her Majesty's Cook and Photographer Jane Gay, novice photographer, left a remarkable legacy of the months she and Alice C. Fletcher, Special Agent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, spent in Idaho on the Nez Perce Reservation. In addition to taking more than 400 photographs, Gay wrote twenty-seven lengthy letters that tell of their experiences among the Nez Perce during the process of allotting the Tribe. The letters vividly describe the extremes of their experiences with both people and the Idaho landscape and climate. What Jane Gay observed among the Nez Perce was often in contrast to the stereotypical images of nineteenth-century whites. Her letters and photographs provide a unique view of the Nez Perce at a crucial period in their history the implementation of general allotment, a policy now understood as devastating to Native Americans. Jane Gay, born in Nashua, New Hampshire in 1830, was well educated, taught school, and worked as a clerk for the Post Office. In 1883, she retired and traveled in Europe. Gay lived as an economically independent woman most of her life. After a chance reacquaintance in 1888 with anthropologist Alice Fletcher, a nationally prominent Indian rights' reformer, Jane Gay traveled to Idaho as companion, cook, and housekeeper for Fletcher, who had been appointed to allot the Nez Perce Tribe. Allotment was supposedly the solution to the "Indian question," the hotly debated nineteenth-century issue among whites of what to do about Native Americans' lands and rights. Many believed its solution had been found in the General Allotment Act of 1887, often called the Dawes bill after its sponsor, Senator Henry Dawes. The bill was the product of much debate and effort by humanitarian "Indian reformers" who by the 1880s sought to bring Native Americans into the mainstream of American life instead of segregating them on tribally held reservations.
