| While many are aware of the tragic and infamous imprisonment of the nontreaty Nez Perces and their allies following their capture by U.S. military forces in 1877, ignorance about their exile in Indian Territory generally prevails. J. Diane Pearson seeks to fill that gap. But Pearson does not stop with a simple detailed narrative; she also seeks to explore the strategies the exiled Nez Perces used to preserve significant aspects of their culture (while they simultaneously fought for their physical lives) and to trace specific survivors and relations among the exiles and with others with whom they intersected. |
