Since time immemorial, the Nimiipuu or Nez Perce have lived among the rivers, canyons and prairies of the inland northwest.
Early on the morning of August 8, 1877, soldiers under the command of Colonel John Gibbon unleashed an attack on the quiet camp of Nez Perce.
Gibbon's attack was repulsed, but at a great cost to the Nez Perce, making the battle at Big Hole the bloodiest single day in the four month long struggle between certain bands of the Nez Perce, their allies, and the U.S. Army.
The Nez Perce or Nez Percé (pronounced /nɛz pɝs/, or /ne pɛr'se/ as in French) are a tribe of Native Americans who inhabited the Pacific Northwest region of the United States at the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Nez Perce is a misnomer given by the interpreter of the Lewis and Clark expedition at the time they first encountered the tribe in 1805.
In Nez Perce, the subject of a sentence, and the object when there is one, can each be marked with for grammatical case, a morpheme that shows the function of the word (compare to English he vs. him).
