Lewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce: Strangers in the Land of the Nimiipuu
Two Nez Perce historians offer a detailed examination of the relationship between Corps of Discovery explorers and a single tribe, investigating what Lewis and Clark knew or misunderstood regarding the Nez Perce (Nimiipuu), searching for clues about the hosts' reactions to the bearded strangers, and presenting rich Nez Perce oral tradition. Their careful re-evaluation reverses the historical lens to shed extraordinary new light on expedition events.
This extraordinary new look at Lewis and Clark among the Nez Perce represents a breakthrough in Lewis and Clark studies. Incidents we thought we knew backwards and forwards suddenly take on a new light, and the reader begins to understand what the four month extended visit of Lewis and Clark meant to their hosts.
