Nez Perce

le nez (masc.)

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.

For art the nez perce Indians made pots out of wood,bone,and sometimes covered the pot with skin.These pots were giving as wedding gifts or kept at home.Some had carvings,but some were just plain.

The men of the Nez Perce tribe did the hunting and fishing, and regularly planned wars against other tribes to the south. The women spent their days cooking, cleaning, and caring for their children. The women were also responsible for cleaning and preparing the fish caught by the men as well as curing the hides of the animals they hunted. The Nez Perce moved a lot and it was the job of the women to pack up all the belongings and carry them to their newest location.

There are two answers, depending on whether you mean the pre-reservation era, or the later period when the Nez Perce people were confined to reservations.

The original native dress was noted by Lewis and Clark in 1805; women wore ankle-length deerskin (buckskin) dresses without belts, decorated with beads, shells and small pieces of brass. The brass and beads had already been obtained in trade through other tribes. 50 years later they were wearing two-skin dresses with the deer tails applied front and back, with the yoke area beaded in Plains style; long fringes edged the yoke, side seams and the uneven hemline, sometimes with dewclaws added to the fringe.

Rows of leather thong were used to decorate some dresses and a decorated leather belt was worn by the 1850s.

In the later reservation era Plains style decoration on yokes was replaced by Plateau style beadwork; more women wore trade cloth dresses over a blouse; these dresses were T-shaped, with square cut oversleeves. Leggings were knee-length and gartered with bands of leather or cloth, beautifully beaded.

Moccasins were of the soft-soled, one-piece style that had a seam along the outside of the foot; decoration was done in porcupine quills or glass beads (the "keyhole" shape design was popular). Moccasins were typically also painted red.

The Nez Perce, like the Lakota, spilt after multiple battles the US Military, some settled on the reservations, others chose to continue to live in the traditional ways.

The ones who refused to surrender were chased by 2,000 Army regulars over 2,000 miles across four states and rough terrain. Eight-hundred of their warriors were killed or taken prisoner during conflicts that sprung up along the route. Three hundred US Army and 1,000 Nez Perce civilians also perished.

On October 5, 1877, after near the Canadian border. Chief Joseph surrendered to General Howard, US Cavalry in Montana just south of the Canadian border.

The route of the Nez Perce flight is preserved by the Nez Perce Historic Trail.

For more insight into this sort of conflict, I highly recommend "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knees," the book or the HBO Film. Also "Dances with Wolves." Grab a box of tissues. []

Drums were the main instrument used in singing, dances and celebrations, as well as at religious ceremonies.

Flutes made from elderberry stems with six finger holes were also produced and were a favourite among the tribe; whistles of bone (particularly eagle bone) were used by warriors for protection in battle.

Before the 1800s a type of rasp made from a serrated stick scraped with a bone was used instead of the drum, but by the early 1800s drums were widely used instead. The drums used in ceremonies gradually got bigger and bigger, until by the 1890s they were large enough for 8 drummers to sit around.

Nez Perce shamans used rattles of deer hooves tied to a stick, later replaced by small bells obtained in trade.

Chief Joseph was born on March 3rd 1840 in the Wallowa Valley. Joseph was the chiel of the Wal-Lam-Wat-Kain band of Nez Perce.

The Nez Perce were BOTH nomadic and dwellers.They lived in Washington and Idaho catching bison while living in tipis, and living in Long houses in a village. next time, DONT answer the questain with the questain ok kid?

That they use under ground winter house.

That they use wood-handled tool for digging roots.

That they use woven-grass basjet hat.

A distinction has to be made between historic (meaning 19th century and earlier) dances and rituals and modern (meaning reservation era and afterwards) dances.

Historic dances included the winter Guardian Spirit Dance, which was a ritual mainly for young men who had recently received a sacred vision and an associated protector spirit. The Prophet Dance was an unusual ritual where a circle of dancers was led by a medicine man who reached a trance-like state in which he could see the future. There were also war dances, honour (praise) dances, owl or round dances, prairie chicken dances, victory song dances and women's dances.

Since the reservation era the Nez Perce have also adopted many "powwow" dances from other tribes - grass dance, jingle dance and so on.
