A place is considered historical for different reasons. Usually it is because something important happened there. For example, Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in PA was where cannons for the Continantal Army were made during the Revolution. Fort Buford Historic Site in ND is where Sitting Bull, after the victory at Little Big Horn in 1876, returned to from taking refuge in Canada and surrendered in 1881. Nez Perce Chief Joseph was also imprisoned there. Some cities are historical because of important things that they are known for, such as Philadelphia both the Decaration of Independence and the Constitution were written there. It does not have to be someone or something related to politics, it can be someone that contributed to society. Alexander Graham Bell's and John Wayne's birthplaces are also historical sites. In the South some of the antebellum mansions are registered historical places because of the architecture and their age. Some places are historical because they were part of the founding of a city, such as first court house, bank or school.

The Pacific Northwest region (Columbia River Plateau) of the United States is where they originally enjoyed their peaceful way of life. This area covered parts of the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho that surround the Snake, Salmon, and Clearwater rivers. Their lands extended from the Bitterroot Mountains in the east to the Blue Mountains in the west, between latitudes 45 degrees North and 47 degrees North.

Today, they govern a reservation in Idaho.

She became invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth, near the Three Forks of the Missouri, and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe when the expedition reached that area. After she gave birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805, she also quieted the fears of other Native Americans, for no war party traveled with a woman and a small baby. She was able to translate when they met up with Shoshone-speaking Indians. She told them about some of the geography and any various animals and plants that she was familiar with.

She had been kidnapped from her own tribe and spent many years as a slave or prisoner of another Indian tribe. Once she travelled back to her own native tribal lands with Lewis and Clark, she was able to see her family for the first time in many years. It is important to remember that the entire expedition improvised practically everything as they went along, and Sacajawea and her recruitment for translating were no exception. They were (other than Sacajawea) going into the unknown, and so were entirely unprepared for many things they tried to do.

Other Indians were helpful also, for instance when the expedition first overwintered in Dakota Territory, they nearly starved because the Americans didn't understand what they would need to do to store enough food for the winter. At a frontier Dakota fort, by heating and pounding broken cast iron from an abandoned stove into crude hatchets they were able to barter for enough corn to barely get through the winter. Next spring, when they walked hundreds of miles westward, they found the Indians had already traded those very tools out as far as Wyoming.

Late next winter, when they were coming out of the mountains in the Nez Perce tribe territory of Idaho, they were cold, poorly clothed, and nearly starved again. The Nez Perce could easily have overwhelmed them in a massacre and stolen their rifles and gunpowder to use for protection against other Indian tribes. But, the Nez Perce held a council and decided to let the white men live and help nourish them back to health. Other tribes were hostile, and Lewis and Clark had many close calls with them. But, the generosity of the Nez Perce was the foundation for a great enduring friendship.

The Shahaptin or Nez Perce tribe (and their close relatives the Umatilla) were typical Plateau people, much influenced by the Plains culture further east. Many Nez Perce items (shirts, leggings, dresses, cradleboards and horse gear) were either directly copied from the Crows or obtained in trade from the Crows.

Two items made by Nez Perce women were very distinctive of the tribe and not taken from Plains culture: basket hats and woven cornhusk bags with traditional designs of dyed fibres (later of coloured wool yarn). No Nez Perce woman considered herself properly dressed without a hat or bag - both items continued being made in reservation days, long after other traditional items stopped being produced.

Shell disks cut from abalone and other large coastal shells were very much a favourite for necklaces and earrings among both men and women.

The Nez Perce constructed dugout canoes, mainly for river fishing. Bows and arrows were made by the men for hunting and war; feather headdresses were adopted from the Plains culture.

Yes, the Nez Perce Indians were discriminated against just as most Native Americans were. The Nez Perce just wanted to be left alone to live their lives in peace. The white man broke the treaty just as they had done hundreds of times before. The Nez Perce were friendly towards the whites and tried to keep peace. The whites that lived in the area, looked down on the Nez Perce and thought of them as an inferior race. The ran ruffshod over them constantly.

Chief Joseph (1840-1904) is the famous Nez Perce leader who tried through peaceful means to keep his people's homeland. In 1873, Joseph negotiated with the federal government to ensure his people could stay on their land in the Wallowa Valley. But in 1877, the government reversed its policy, He visited Washington D.C. on two occasions to plead his case with Presidents Rutherford Hayes and Ulysses S. Grant. He was well-respected for his gifts in leading the people. This quote remains: "Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Too-hul-hul-sote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are—perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, to see how many I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
