'Page 2 The Sacred Silence of the Bear’s Paw When I was asked to write an article for the NPTA newsletter, I immediately began thinking about the issues that have become most important to me in the past four and a half years of traveling and researching for my forthcoming book, Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce: The Untold Story of an American Tragedy. My first thought was to emphasize how important it is that we each strive explain the trail as a story, since so many casual trav- elers see it as only a series of disconnected roadside stops. My second thought was to write about how important it is for us to continue the story beyond the surrender – through Bismarck, along the rail journey down to Leavenworth, then on to Baxter Springs and Tonkawa, and back to the Lapwai and Colville reservations. But slowly I realized that there is an issue far closer to my heart – an issue far more controversial, but far more crucial in my estimation. It is the issue of the Bear’s Paw interpretive center I wish that center would never be built. I know this has been discussed and planned and set into motion by people with far more investment and understanding than I. I know, too, that it will make the site more accessible and bring the story alive for more people. But in my heart of hearts, I believe it is a mistake. I remember the first time I traveled the entire trail, and I made that long, desolate journey up from the Missouri Breaks and the McClellan’s Ferry. As I came over that rolling grassland and saw in the distance the small pull-off that told me I had arrived at the surrender site, something released in me, and I broke down sobbing. What lay before me was not just the end of a journey, it was the end of a dream. .I stepped from my car into the buffeting winds. With only a small brochure to guide me, I stepped along the paths, down into the gullies, across the small creek rimmed with willow. Here was a peg marking the spot where Olli- kut fell; here a marker showing where twenty one soldiers were buried. I looked out into the distance, hearing only the wind and the heavy silence of the Montana plains. There was no interpretive overlay between me and the power of the land. I walked the small trails with a sense of reverence, alone with my thoughts and feelings. This was not an historical event, it was a spiritual experience. It was awakening something deep inside me that went far beyond understanding, far beyond mind. It was a kind of hallowing. I have since been back there many times, sometimes accompanied by others, sometimes at the commemorations, sometimes alone, with only the keening winds and whispering spirits to keep me company. But no matter whom I am with or how I am feel- ing, something deep and undeniable overtakes me. I have no quarrel with historical interpretation. There is a place for such unfolding. The Big Hole battle site and interpretive cen- ter is a prime example. It leads us, step by step, through a crucial moment in the journey, and allows those who have not delved into the story a chance to learn it anew, and, perhaps for the first time, to get a sense of what the Nez Perce travelers, as well as the soldiers and volunteers, experienced in that isolated Montana valley on that fateful day in August of 1877. But the Bear’s Paw offers us something different. Here we do not learn, we feel. We hear those voices below hearing; we sense those presences beneath understanding. Truth is carried on the winds and in the blood knowledge of the earth.. This is hard to explain to Euro-American sensibilities. We seek the rational, the quantifiable. We make our decisions based on practicalities. And practicality says that an interpretive center will allow more people to experience the Bear’s Paw and learn about the Nez Perce journey. I cannot argue that. But, as a writer cares about the power of unseen forces, I cannot help but feel that an interpretive center, no matter how tastefully done and how well hidden from the battlefield itself, will cut into the great powerful emptiness of those plains and the overwhelming sense of spiritual presence that the battlefield now possesses. I firmly believe there is a need for historical understanding of our nation’s past. But I also believe that there are places in this country that should be left alone; places that should be honored, not interpreted. The Bear’s Paw is such a place. The greatest honor we can do to that battle site is to leave it as it is – a lonely high plains grassland under monumental skies, with only the fewest of markings as reminders of the people who struggled, suffered, and gave their lives in pursuit of a dream denied. Let it be discovered, not presented. Let it be seen by those with eyes to see; heard by those with ears to hear. As for the rest, let them pass by. There is world enough to explore, interpret and understand. I know the decision has been made, and I re- spect that. But I believe in my heart that we will lose something great and fundamental if we do not leave that battlefield as it is, alive with that echoing silence and the presences that blow in the Montana high plains wind. Sometimes we do not need to com- memorate, we need to hallow.

Our ethic of working together reinforces community bonds, strengthens our Trail social fabric, and fosters community prosperity.

  • Sacred Trails
    Sacred Trails “The Land unites us with [our] across time, keeping our culture alive…… We live in the place our ancestors called home before the great pyramids of Egypt were built.” Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee First Encounter of Horse Nation Native Americans have always believed that animal creatures were part of the living community. When Native Americans first encountered the horse they called them Horse Nation and they found an ally, inspiration and a tool that would transform their world. By the 1800’s Natives had used the horse nation as survival and sustaining their culture. Native Americans honored the horse and invited the horse into their spiritual lives. The horse continued to have a close relationship with the Native Americans. Horse Dominates North America In the 1500’s Spanish Conquistadors used the horse as a powerful weapon to take over the new lands in North America. Some of the horse were captured or ran away and the Native American tamed, trained and blessed the horses into their everyday lives. The horses move across the entire North American continent and become a powerful tool against invaders. By the 1700’s many native tribes had their own horse nation. The horse nation strengthened the native tribes by becoming an integral part of their community and spiritual life. 1 Sacred Trails The Walla Walla Council of 1855 The Walla Walla Council was held on the banks of Mill Creek a tributary of the Walla Walla River.

    Nez Perce (Nee‐Me‐Poo) Naonal Historic Trail Progress Report Winter 2014 Administrator’s Corner Greetings, During the last year the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT), has not only endured, but grown with activities, including opening new trail segments and producing new interpretive, and educational materials. NPNHT staff continue to be effective in providing protection, interpretation, education, and stewardship along the Trail. As the Administrator of the NPNHT, I have the opportunity L-R: Sandi McFarland and Lindy Hatcher, Executive Director Lewis & Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, to see the Trail and its mission and goals from many vantages. at the National Scenic and Historic Trails Conference In all our Trail endeavors, there has been a constant factor, held recently in Arizona. the priority has and will always be to embrace what is best for the Trail. That is our ultimate concern. Related to that are the efforts to protect and tell the Trail story in an accurate and sensitive manner throughout all interpretive and education outreach. This endeavor is a great responsibility and a task that we are all striving to fulfill. We have many ways to bring about what is expected of us. These means are granted to us by wisdom, foresight, and direction from the tribes, partners, and Trail users to cultivate stewardship through understanding by connecting people with the NPNHT. While looking back over the last year, I couldn’t help but look to the future. A host of new challenges await us as we enter into the New Year. These challenges include, troubling budgets, the threats of energy development, and loss of high priority trail segments.

This parcel is American Prairie’s 32nd land acquisition and brings the conservation organization’s total deeded and leased acres to 420,425. Named for Cow Creek, which runs its length, the property lies just four miles north of the Missouri River. It is adjacent to existing American Prairie land and the secluded, rugged location inside the National Monument offers plentiful grazing for wildlife and attracts elk, deer, and big horn sheep. “Properties like Cow Creek connect existing public lands and provide crucial habitat, helping us to create a contiguous landscape where wildlife can thrive,” said Alison Fox, CEO of American Prairie Reserve. The parcel is three miles long, half a mile wide, and falls within the Cow Creek Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) and the Cow Creek Wilderness Study Area (WSA). The Cow Creek ACEC and Cow Creek WSA are both managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the areas’ important historical and cultural values in addition to providing critical fish and wildlife habitat and opportunities for recreation. This new property also holds historical significance. The Nez Perce tribe crossed this region during the Flight of 1877 and followed Cow Creek as they fled the U.S.
