I grew up in Portland Oregon in the early 50's to early 70's. I recall my family going to Washington and Eastern Oregon listening to Native Americans tell the histories of their tribes and perform dances and stories, some of which required complex masks with moving parts. They had rich, vibrant cultures. I am glad their are people who can teach younger generations their languages and cultures. I know since I was a child hearing several generations back, we had ancestors who were French Canadian and Blackfoot, no idea how we would confirm that, but I believe in being proud of all my ancestors.

I found are history book in a thrift store. THE NEZ PERCE INDIANS AND THE OPENING OF THE NORTHWEST. Democrat education took it out of schools in the 1970s. Would have been nice to have this in history curriculum

Native American History
Photograph of lepít híisemtuks (Two Moons), a Nez Perce Warrior, who fought in the Nez Perce War of 1877. "Two Moons," or " lepít híisemtuks," described many of his stories about tribal warfare to Lucullus Virgil McWhorter, a frontiersman who documented Native tribes in West Virginia and the modern-day Plateau Native Americans. Although he had a small stature, lepít híisemtuks (Two Moons) battled Lakota Warriors in the Great Plains and earned a reputation as a fearless fighter. lepít híisemtuks (Two Moons) was the first to bring the news of the outbreak of hostilities to Hinmatóoyalahtq’it (Chief Joseph) and his brother ’álok’at (Alokat). During the War of 1877, lepít híisemtuks (Two Moons) was aided by his wife in battle. When he ran out of ammunition for his tim’úuni (rifle), his wife crawled out onto the field of battle and secured ammunition from the cartridge belts of dead soldiers.
