"Bannack, MontanaImpact on Native American Life
The Nez Perce Connection"
By
Stan Hoggatt

B annack, Montana's colorful and rich past provides us with a sense of pride as we consider the growth of our nation and our Western heritage. Still, there is another aspect to Western settlement and developmentthe violent settlement of the West and the permanent displacement of Native American life and culture. The story of Bannack, perhaps like few other places, personifies the clash of cultures in America's settlement of the West.
O ur story begins in the early 1800s when President Jefferson succesfully negotiated for the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France with the conclusion of a treaty signed April 30, 1803. Earlier President Jefferson in a "secret" session of Congress asked for funds to explore this vast territory. Funding was provided and the Discovery Corps lead by Captain Meriwether Lewis, who was joined by his friend and fellow officer William Clark, began one of the most incredible explorations in the history of our nation. Their exploration of the Pacific Northwest eventually paved the way for others who would follow.
T need not be surveyed , settle on it by building a house and cultivating part of it, and, in six months time he could buy this claim by paying $ 1.25 an acre for it. No title could be obtained until the land had been surveyed. This act was not only the basis for property disputes and conflicts among neighbors, it sactioned the perceived right of immigrants to take from the Indians whatever land they could. They were turbulent violent times fueled by greed, hope, and aspirations for a better tomorrow.

These markers have very specific modes of inheritance and are relatively unique to populations with Native American Ancestry. There are 2 types of inheritance pattern categories that these markers follow, either a directly paternal linkage (i.e., male-to-male-to-male, etc.) or a directly maternal linkage (i.e., female-to-all her children. Then, only the female children pass it on to all their children)

http://www.uidaho.edu/Jane_Gay/content.html
With the Nez Perce During Allotment: E. Jane Gay, Her Majesty's Cook and Photographer Jane Gay, novice photographer, left a remarkable legacy of the months she and Alice C. Fletcher, Special Agent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, spent in Idaho on the Nez Perce Reservation. In addition to taking more than 400 photographs, Gay wrote twenty-seven lengthy letters that tell of their experiences among the Nez Perce during the process of allotting the Tribe. The letters vividly describe the extremes of their experiences with both people and the Idaho landscape and climate. What Jane Gay observed among the Nez Perce was often in contrast to the stereotypical images of nineteenth-century whites. Her letters and photographs provide a unique view of the Nez Perce at a crucial period in their history the implementation of general allotment, a policy now understood as devastating to Native Americans. Jane Gay, born in Nashua, New Hampshire in 1830, was well educated, taught school, and worked as a clerk for the Post Office. In 1883, she retired and traveled in Europe. Gay lived as an economically independent woman most of her life. After a chance reacquaintance in 1888 with anthropologist Alice Fletcher, a nationally prominent Indian rights' reformer, Jane Gay traveled to Idaho as companion, cook, and housekeeper for Fletcher, who had been appointed to allot the Nez Perce Tribe. Allotment was supposedly the solution to the "Indian question," the hotly debated nineteenth-century issue among whites of what to do about Native Americans' lands and rights. Many believed its solution had been found in the General Allotment Act of 1887, often called the Dawes bill after its sponsor, Senator Henry Dawes. The bill was the product of much debate and effort by humanitarian "Indian reformers" who by the 1880s sought to bring Native Americans into the mainstream of American life instead of segregating them on tribally held reservations.

Idaho’s First Inhabitants
Big-game hunters were the earliest inhabitants of present-day Idaho. Excavations at Wilson Butte Cave in south central Idaho uncovered a campsite dating back about 12,000 years with the remains of prehistoric animals and spears made out of flint. Early game hunters led a migratory life, pursuing mammoths, bison, and prehistoric horses.

Native American Cultures Expedition: WebQuest
Indian people are still here. We are not going away. It is time that the newcomers to this country started paying proper respect to the elder status of the first nations. - Otis Halfmoon (Nez Perce) Introduction Many misunderstandings and stereotypes exist about American Indians, or Native Americans. Not all Indians lived in tepees, and not all Indians were mainly hunters who used bows and arrows. There were hundreds of Indian nations across North America with many different cultures. They spoke different languages, had their own stories and religious ideas, and made their living in varied ways. Today, many Indian people work to keep their cultural heritage as they live in the modern world. Some Indian people live with other members of their nations on reservations, while others live in our towns and cities among people of various ethnic backgrounds. As you participate in this expedition, including this WebQuest, you will become an expert on one Indian nation and share your knowledge not only with your teacher and classmates, but also with our guests who attend our cultural fair.

Joseph (Heinmot Tooyalakekt)
Nez Perce leader "Good words do not last long until they amount to something. Good words will not give me back my children. . . . It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises." These words spoken by Joseph (often known as Chief Joseph) reveal a personality that reflected the hardships that tribes such as the Nez Perces endured during contact with Western civilization. Understanding that personality requires an investigation of its past. Heinmot Tooyalakekt was born in present-day eastern Oregon in 1841 to Tu-ya-kas-kas and a Nez Perce woman from the Grande Ronde Valley. Tu-ya-kas-kas was chief of the Wallamotkin band, which inhabited seven villages in the area. Tu-ya-kas-kas's village was called In-nan-toe-e-in. The tribal elders stated that he could speak some English and that he was half Cayuse and half Nez Perce. History has lost the Indian name of Chief Joseph's mother, but she was baptized by the Reverend H. H. Spaulding on May 14, 1843, and given the name Arenoth. The marriage of Tu-ya-kas-kas and Arenoth produced four children. Their first child was a son named Sousouquee, the second was Heinmot Tooyalakekt, the third was a son named Ollokot (or Aloqat), and the fourth was a daughter named Ai-ai-tominee. From all accounts, Sousouquee was taller and even more handsome than his younger brothers; he was killed in 1865. Tu-ya-kas-kas accepted Christianity and had his family baptized in 1843. His baptismal name was Joseph; he was also known as Old Joseph. Tu-ya-kas-kas believed in the old Nez Perce traditions. After the signing of the Treaty of 1863, which reduced the size of the reservation, Old Joseph, very upset, and not understanding the division of his people, took his family to the buffalo country east of the Rockies.

    Yellow Jacket And Ant
    A Nez Perce Legend
    Envy will cause good friends to become enemies. Ant was jealous of Yellow Jacket eating salmon, even though he himself had as much food and comforts of living. Ant invaded his neighbor's privacy and destroyed their friendship. Because neither would listen to his warning, Coyote turned them both into stone as an example for the Human Beings who were coming. The Yellow Jackets and the Ants all lived together on the hillside about ten miles above Tse-me-na-kem (Lewiston, Idaho). on the Clearwater River. The two families were quite friendly, although every once in a while members would get into an argument , which is no more than natural.
