The Nez Perce (Watts Library)

By Ted Nelson and Sharlene Nelson

Book Overview

Traditionally, the Nez Perce lived in areas of what are Idaho, Washington, and Oregon today. In the early 1800s, the Nez Perce helped the explorers Lewis and Clark on their journey to the West. In the years that followed, the Nez Perce faced many challenges from missionaries, settlers, U.S. government officials, and others who were interested in changing their culture or taking their land. This book explores the history, traditions, and beliefs of this people as well as provides a glimpse into the life of the Nez Perce today. Book jacket.
