Nez Perce
The Nez Perce people live primarily in Idaho, and have a population of about 3,500. They were a horse people, and led a successful breeding program. The program did so well, that it became financed by the US government. They are also known as successful fishermen, and this has been historically their main food source.

Did plains Indians get alongwith other tribes?
They didn't "get along" with each other and certainly resented any other tribes competing for the same natural resources.
The marginally Plains tribes such as the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, Omaha, Kansa, Pawnee and Missouri often left their permanent villages to hunt buffalo, when they would be attacked by the Lakota or Cheyenne. These marginal tribes were forced to rely more and more on their own agriculture as a result.
Some Plains groups had friends and allies away from the Plains; the Crow were usually friends with the Nez Perce, but dealings between the two tribes were infrequent and difficult.
Chief Joseph was born March 3, 1840 and died September 21, 1904. He was the chief of the Wallowa band of Nez Perce Indians. General Oliver O. Howard attempted to forcibly remove the tribe and other "non-treaty" Indians to a reservation in Idaho. For Chief Joseph's principled resistance to the removal, he became well-known as a peacemaker and humanitarian.

What does kaya mean in Nez Perce?
Many modern American baby name sites have given false and ridiculous meanings to names such as "Kaya", which is definitely not a word in any native American language. It has appeared in popular fiction aimed at young girls, but it is just that - fiction.
The Nez Perce female name Kaya'aton'my' means "one who arranges stones", but this would never be shortened or abbreviated to just Kaya (abbreviating names is generally a symptom of modern culture).
How do you make a Nez Perce authentic cradleboard?
Making the board, (the wood part is simple enough) I don't think the size of the wood backboard is a set size, I think the authenticity come from the covering and designs applied to said covering. The board appears to be about 30 to 32 inches long, get a large piece of paper about 4 feet long and at least 18 inches wide, draw a horizonal line at the top, measure down 30 to 32 inches and draw another horizonal line, now draw a virtical center line down the middle, (it will look like a big "H" laying on its side) some cradleboards have a round top, others have just the corners rounded off, this one will have a round top. The round top ones appear to have a 12 to 16 inch diameter circle, spread your compass 6 to 8 inches and put the point end of the compasson the center-line and draw a circle so the top of the circle touches the top horizonal line, for the bottom, I recommend a 4 inch circle, so set your compass at 2 inches and draw a circle so the outside of the circle touches the bottom horizonal line, now with a stright edge, line up the outside edge top-left circle and the outside-left bottom circle and draw a line from top to bottom, do the same with the right side top an bottom circles. You now have the layout for your piece of wood. Solid light weight wood would be closer to authentic then plywood, I would recommend Aspen, its light weight, reasonably strong, and can be edge joined with biscuits for a invisible joint, you will have to join 2 or 3 boards together for the size your after, some lumber companies or carpenter shops will do this for you for a small fee. I haven't seen one up close, I assume the material is soft leather attached by a series of holes to which the leather is laced to the board. The decorations on the covering, fringe, designs, etc., will come form your research on the Nez Perce People. (I know some used rain drop shapes as one type of design [spiritual significance].

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."
Is there an native american indian name that means came out of the woods?
Yes there is, although it is not widely known.
The Nez Perce tribe of Idaho were given that name by French explorers, who may have misunderstood the sign language gesture for the name of the tribe. Lewis and Clark recorded their tribal name as "Chopunnish", which is a mangled version of the Nez Perce word cuupn'itpel'uu, meaning "we come out of the forest in single file", referring to a time before the tribe had horses and had to walk everywhere.
The Crows of Montana have a story that warriors of the Nez Perce were so brave that would not flinch even from an arrow passing close beneath their noses - hence the sign language gesture of a finger pushed across beneath the nasal septum - this gesture may have been misunderstood by French explorers as signifying "pierced noses" and produced the "Nez Perce" name.
Almost all of the tribal names used in the USA are incorrect in some way, due to similar misunderstandings.
