Beatrice Miles reflects on the significance of Lewis and Clark for the Nimíipuu Item Info

Josiah Pinkham: What do you think that Nez Perce need to remember about the Lewis and Clark experience and what that means to us?

Beatrice Miles: Well they didn’t like it, the older Indians and some of the young ones still go along with it. They didn’t like the fact that through that coming out west they made a trail for white people to come. And they treated us so bad. According to McWhorter story there was a man riding his horse up by Sweetwater and a white man shot him off his horse. They said that then they drove our Indian people in 1877 out of their own country while Chief Joseph was there.
