Lawyer had two flags, one Robert Newell gave him. Robert Newell was his friend. He lived up there between Sweetwater and, between Jacque Spur and Culdesac. You know that big house on the corner that was his original Robert Nuel house. He could talk Indian and he went with Lawyer on that first trip in ‘68 to Washington D.C. and he gave him one. The other one is the ‘55 one that governor Stevens gave him. Now the history books always tell about during the war of ‘77 up at Kamiah, James Lawyer well it would be about where the airport is now they had a big camp there. And they said they put up a pole in a hurry and he put up Chief Lawyer’s flag so that Howard would know where their camp was. So that is where they come and that is where they camped.

The flag is now in the Spalding Museum, the Nez Perce National Historical Park.)
