NPWH.000264.Pdf Wallowa Ten Thousand Years and Counting TAMKALIKS From where you can see the mountains Possible Prologue #1 Monday, July 22, 1996 San Francisco Chronicle ONCE EXILED, NEZ PERCE NOW OFFERED CHANCE TO RETURN HOME County in Oregon hopes Indians will aid economy By Timothy Egan / New York Times The above heading was an introduction to the 1996 article that led me to Earl “Taz” Conner, Terry Crenshaw, and Soy Redthunder. [The irony of “Indians will aid the economy” wasn't lost on me.] Soon, | found a phone number for Soy. | called him. He gave me Taz’s contact info at the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla outside Pendleton. The short story: Taz invited me to meet in person. | drove to Pendleton with my [then] mate Claudia McGuire [Thanks Claudia]. It was Spring 1997. | met Taz [and Darlene]. | described my rough draft of an idea for “Wallowa, 10,000 Years and Counting”. He then invited me to the 1997 “Powwow and Friendship Feast”. It became “Tamkaliks” in 1998. July 1997 was my first time at the event. Little did | know [naive] that my original notion of a long essay - “113 Years Later - Peace, Truth, and Reconciliation in Wallowa Valley ” - along with a few drawings, and photographs would eventually become [in my mind] an epic undertaking [literally]. I'd been [somewhat] aware of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce for many years. Of course, | [naive] didn’t know the true scope of their complex history, both real and imagined. [Watkuweis, Ollokot, Toohooolhoolzote, etc] The saga includes odd details like: Howard University was named after General Oliver Otis Howard! [Howard is a “historically Black university” in Washington DC.] Now - it’s 2018. This [little] magazine is just a chatty prologue to “Wallowa, 10,000 Years and Counting". My template for this is the Vietnam Memorial by Maya Lin; 53,318 names of the U.S. “declared dead” or “MIA” [The Memorial Wall doesn't include the millions of "others" who died]. The names in this magazine? They start before Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark show up [Clark's 1/2 Nimiipu son is here somewhere.] The people and their names flow from "then" to "now”, and includes Tamkaliks' founders and organizers - living and dead. There are pages here with the names of heroic women and men, big hearted people, visionaries, hot blooded young warriors, lovers, racist imperialist. and progressive imperialists! Patriots! Traitors! Apologists! Everyday People! Epic! Me? I’m a Black American man of 49.5% Sub-Saharan African descent [Senegal, Cameroon] and 49.0% European descent [includes: Irish/British, and 13.9% Ashkenazi Jew!

  • A Sharp Little Affair: the Archeology of Big Hole Battlefield
    A Sharp Little Affair: The Archeology of the Big Hole Battlefield By Douglas D. Scott With Special Sections by Melissa A. Connor Dick Harmon Lester Ross REPRINTS IN ANTHROPOLOGY VOLUME 45 1994 Published by J & L Reprint Company 410 Wedgewood Drive Lincoln, Nebraska 68510 Revised for PDF publication June 2009 Acknowledgments First and foremost we wish to acknowledge and thank Hank Williams, Jr. for his interest and financial support. The National Park Service seldom has the luxury of conducting an archeological research project that is not tied to some development project or some overriding management action. Mr. William's support allowed us to pursue this investigation for the benefit of the park without being tied to a specific management requirement. His support did allow us to accomplish several management goals that otherwise would have waited their turn in the priority system. This project has had more than its fair share of those who have given their time, resources, and knowledge without thought of compensation. Specifically Irwin and Riva Lee are to be commended for their willingness to ramrod the metal detecting crew. They volunteered for the duration for which we are truly grateful. Aubrey Haines visited us during the field investigations and generously shared his vast knowledge of the Big Hole battle history with us. His willingness to loan material and respond to our questions is truly appreciated. Former Unit Manager Jock Whitworth and his entire staff provided much support and aid during the investigations. Jock and his staff allowed us to invade the park and their good-natured acceptance of our disruption to the daily schedule is acknowledged with gratitude.

The Tonkawa had a distinct language, and their name, as that of the leading tribe, was applied to their linguistic family. They were one of the most warlike tribes during nearly two centu- ries of conflict with their enemy tribes on the Western plains and with the Spanish and, later, American settlers in the Southwest. Their men were famous warriors, and their chiefs bore many scars of battle. The Tonkawa women were also strong physically and vindictive in disposition. The people of this tribe were no- madic in their habits in the early his- toric period, moving their tipi villages according to the wishes of the chiefs Winnie and Chief Grant Richards ca. 1898 of the different bands. They planted a few crops, but were well known as great hunters of buffalo and deer, using bows and arrows and spears for weapons, as well as some firearms secured from early Spanish traders.

    United States Department of Agriculture Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report Summer 2019 Administrator ’s Corner At the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT) program, we work through partnerships that seek to create communication and collaboration across jurisdictional and cultural boundaries. Our ethic of working together reinforces community bonds, strengthens our Trail social fabric, and fosters community prosperity. By building stronger relationships and reaching out to underserved communities, who may have not historically had a voice in the management, interpretation of the Trail, we can more effectively steward our trail through honoring all the communities we serve. U.S. Forest Service photo, U.S. Roger Peterson Forest Service Volunteer labor isn’t perfect sometimes. Construction projects can take Sandra Broncheau-McFarland, speaking to longer than necessary, but there are so many intangible benefits of the Chief Joseph Trail Riders. volunteering- the friendships, the cross-cultural learning, and the life changes it inspires in volunteers who hopefully shift how they live, travel, and give in the future. Learning how to serve and teaching others the rest of our lives by how we live is the biggest impact. Volunteering is simply the act of giving your time for free and so much more. In an always on and interconnected world, one of the hardest things to find is a place to unwind. Our brains and our bodies would like us to take things a lot slower,” says Victoria Ward, author of “The Bucket List: Places to find Peace and Quiet.” This is the perfect time to stop and appreciate the amazing things happening around you.

    Auto Tour the plight op The NEZ PERCE ...through the Big Hole, Horse Prairie and Lemhi Valleys -1877 United States Forest Beaverhead-Deerlodge Department of Service National Agriculture Forest n August 1877, the tranquility of the Big Hole Valley was shattered by the sound of gunfire as a battle erupted between J five bands of Nez Perce Indians and U.S. military forces along the banks of the Big Hole River. For valley settlers, anxiety turned to fear and concern as nearly 800 Nez Perce men, woman and children gathered their wounded and fled southward towards Skinner Meadows and the country beyond. Today, you can retrace the route used by the Nez Perce and their military pursuers. This brochure describes the Nez Perce (Nee- Me-Poo) National Historic Trail between Big Hole National Batttlefield, Montana and Leadore, Idaho. The map shows the auto tour route in detail.

  • Nez Perce National Historical Park and Big Hole National Battlefield
    GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN September 1997 for Nez Perce National Historical Park and Big Hole National Battlefield Asotin and Okanogan Counties, Washington Wallowa County, Oregon Nez Perce, Idaho, Lewis, Clearwater and Clark Counties, Idaho Park County, Wyoming Blaine, Yellowstone and Beaverhead Counties, Montana Prepared by U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Recommended: Frank Walker Superintendent, Nez Perce National Historical Park September 23, 1997 Concurred: William C. Walters Deputy Field Director, Pacific West Area September 23, 1997 Approved: John Reynolds Field Director, Pacific West Area September 23, 1997 PREFACE The drumbeat, the heartbeat, of the Nez Perce people has echoed across the forests, rivers and canyons of the homeland for a very, very long time. It continues to be heard today -- loud and clear and stronger than ever. The reverberations are felt at pow wows and basketball games, at rodeos and horse shows, on the fire line, in the classroom, in the huckleberry patches and fishing places and camas digging grounds, in beadwork and cornhusk and artistry in many forms. Once heard it is hard to forget. It carries messages for those who would listen -- messages of hope and despair, of deception and triumph, of pain and guilt, laughter and joy. It speaks to us as human beings -- where we have been and where we are going. And it helps define us as a nation. While the words in the following document are managerial and administrative by nature, they are driven by the realization that Nez Perce National Historical Park is a park about a people for all people.
