The Nez Perce people, call themselves Nimi'ipuu, which means the "real people" or "we the people." The name "Nez Perce" was given to them through an interpreter with the 1805 Lewis and Clark expedition.

The Nez Perce were of the Idaho Plateau. They inhabited the area west of the Crow river in the Rocky Mountains north of Yellowstone River.

Tribal chief was generally an inherited position, the headman was at times also a shaman, a religious figure, and healer.

They believed that each individual had a guardian spirit that provided a unique identity and a special skill in hunting, perhaps, or healing or quilling. Care was needed to protect the power; if it resided in a medicine bag, for example, that object must be kept in a particular way. Allowing it to be mishandled, damaged, or touched by the wrong person could have disastrous results.They held ceremonial dances to assure good harvests, promote social harmony, and give protection from evil forces. The Great Spirit, was the connection to all life.Nez perce people and craftse enjoyed arts

Chief Joseph

what type of clothing do the nez perce people most wear

Chief joseph is a chief who led his people 1200 miles to freedom but got caught at the border.

Chief Joseph was part of the tribe Nez Perce in Wallowa Valley in Northwest Oregon

This is the speech he said

I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohulhulsoteis dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led 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 and see how many I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead.

Gold was discovered on their land!

Chief Joseph is most famous for his principled resistance to the forced removal of his tribe, of Nez Perce native Americans, to a reservation in Idaho. As a result of his stance, he became widely renowned and famous as a peacemaker and as a humanitarian.

There are members of the Nez Perce tribe alive today, so to ask "did" might be deemed offensive to them.

Their language is also called Nez Perce. It is highly endangered but members are attempting to revitalise it. More information may be found on Wikipedia.

Supposedly the Shoshone Indians were the ones that let Lewis and Clark stay during the long cold winter months and probably the ones that sold them horses before they went to the St. Lawrence R. I believe that the Lewis and Clark expedition wintered at the Mandan Village. If memory serves the Shoshone connection was Sacogawea. The expedition may have gotten horses from the Nez Pierce. In regard to the Journals of the expedition there is a nice version edited by Bernard de Voto that used to be available in paperback. I am certain that the expedition went to the Columbia River. The most well known Saint Lawrence River (there may be others) begins at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and disgorges into the Atlantic Ocean.

The Nez Perce were known for helping Lewis and Clark. They helped them specifically in their travels through the Northwest.

Joseph the Younger or Cheif Joseph

The mayor of that time opened up the Wallowa Valley to white settlement, and decided that the roaming Nez Perce band move onto reservations immediately. When 3-4 braves when out to avenge a father's death, Chief Joseph allowed it. As he prepared for war he met in discussion with Oliver O. Howard, but still the message he received was the same, move to the reservation lands. As Chief Joseph was rushed across the river with little notice, he had to leave many horses and cattle behind, and many died in the crossing of the river for it had swelled past the banks and was a bad crossing season. At the other edge of the river they stopped to rest before moving on, when confronted by troops, they fought, and then withdrew and began their flee to Canada. His people were captured for standing up against the white settlers, and for refusing to follow the unfair laws, it was also to be an example for the other Native American tribes they were moving to reservation lands.

Plateau Indian tools and weapons were made from wood, sinew, obsidian, and ... confederated tribes of the colville reservation, nez perce tribe, okanogan tribe ... Knives could be used for cutting nettles.
