Nimiipuu people had great respect for nature and its resources.

They also made leather shields. These things could be used for battle or hunting.

And for weapons which were used for battle and hunting for food.]]> 2019-08-06 17:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/msteward6/bhkyr92jcjhj/wish/373455178 msteward6 https://padlet.com/msteward6/bhkyr92jcjhj/wish/373901671 After the Nez Perce War of 1877, Chief Joseph surrendered to the U.S. government and wanted to make deals with them. 

The group was sent to the Colville  Indian Reservation, the last bit of their homeland.

They were forced to convert to Christianity and sent to white schools in order for them to join the white culture.]]> 2019-08-09 16:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/msteward6/bhkyr92jcjhj/wish/373901671 msteward6 https://padlet.com/msteward6/bhkyr92jcjhj/wish/373903949 https://www.army.mil/article/28124/the_nez_perce_war_of_1877
