The Nez Perce
Book - 2025
"A new and updated chronicle of the Nez Perce Tribe, from their creation story and history through their enduring efforts to preserve their culture to their lives today. Award-winning Native American author Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve recounts in a simple, clear narrative the early history of the Nez Perce Tribe, including their daily way of life, their storytelling traditions, and more. She also recounts both the ways that Nez Perce life has changed due to mistreatment from settlers and the US government, including Chief Joseph and the War of 1877, and how the Nez Perce continue to preserve their culture. This revised edition has been carefully vetted by expert members of the Nez Perce Tribe to depict their proud history and includes ...current information on the activities, jobs, and efforts of the Tribe to help build a thriving future for their people and land in Idaho."--

"The Nez Perce was first published in 1994. To update and prepare the book for republication today, we have worked with Jeanette Weaskus Matuska, PhD, a Nez Perce tribal member who has served as a tribal scholar and is a former professor of American Indian Studies. We hope this book serves as an introduction to one of the first American Nations and that you will continue to explore Nez Perce history and culture by visiting the websites listed in the back of the book."-- [Page 2]. - Physical Description
