The Rockies Majestic, inspiring, and seductive, the Rocky Mountains dominate the American mid-western landscape. These mountain ranges are America's greatest natural wonder and house many of the nation's national parks, including the first designated national park, and most famous, Yellowstone. The Rockies are home to a vast array of wildlife and provide a temporary refuge to millions of tourists who seek to hike its peaks, ski its slopes or ride its rivers. But the Rockies can be as dangerous as they are beautiful. Sudden changes in weather and conditions can quickly turn a pleasure excursion into a struggle for survival. The Rockies would be useful for classes on American History, American Culture, Natural History, Ecology, and Geography. It is appropriate for middle school and high school. War and Disaster This episode examines the role of natural and man-made disasters in the Rocky Mountains. As westward expansion escalated in the nineteenth century, confrontations between white Americans and Native Americans increased. The United States government instituted a series of Indian policies to deal with the situation and the ever-increasing desire of white Americans for Native American lands. The solutionthe Indian reservation. OBJECTIVES: Students will examine the history and cultural impact of America's greatest mountain ranges. They will explore the terrain of the ranges as well as the role of the Rocky Mountains in American history and American culture.

The Scout The Nez Perce Indians lived in scattered villages in the Plains west of the Rocky Mountains. About 4,000 in number, they were excellent horsemen and owned the largest horse herd on the continent. They fished for salmon along the Clearwater and Snake rivers, and harvested camas plants in mountain meadows. Like their Shoshone neighbors, the Nez Perce were without guns or ammunition. This left them vulnerable to their enemies, who could obtain weapons from Canadian traders, and it threatened their ability to hunt buffalo. The Nez Perce had heard about the expedition and had looked for the Corps to bring them the guns they needed. Every year, Nez Perce hunters would cross over the difficult Bitterroot Mountains and hunt buffalo. By late September 1805, the Corps of Discovery had completed the same grueling passage by following the Lolo Trail used by the Nez Perce. Nez Perce Baby That month, three young Nez Perce boys spotted Captain William Clark and a few men approaching the cluster of Nez Perce lodges. Clark and the men had pushed ahead of the Corps to seek out the Nez Perce. The boys were frightened and hid in the tall prairie grass, but Clark found them and offered each a ribbon, signaling that friendly visitors had arrived. Many of the Nez Perce men were away on a raid and would not return for two weeks. But the Nez Perce were not frightened of the white men and treated them to a filling meal of buffalo, dried salmon, and camas bread.

The Nez Perce were a peaceful nation spread from Idaho to Northern Washington. The tribe had maintained good relations with the whites after the Lewis and Clark expedition.

It is also thought that First Americans migrated from Siberia over the Bering Strait about 14,000 years ago, or perhaps even earlier. The land bridge was dry ground for several thousand years before the sea level rose again and stopped migration. The hunters would have followed the migrating herds of large mammals as they moved south. As the glaciers melted, the First Americans spread to the North American coasts and across the entire continent. Native Americans adapted to the climates and terrains in which they lived and used whatever natural resources were available. The arrival of the Europeans in the 1500's began a change in the lives of the Indian people that continued through the next centuries. Sometimes the changes were good. The horses brought by the Spanish made bison hunting much easier and safer. But Vikings, Spanish, English and French explorers, colonists and missionaries spread diseases, made slaves of the people, forced relocations, claimed ownership of natural resources and land, and tried to stamp out the native cultures. Some of the Indian people survived, but not without making drastic changes in their life styles.

18. "Nez Perce Triumph At Clarks Fork Canyon" different conclusions about the nez perce routes in Yellowstone and the nez percestory in Yellowstone by starting with the view of native americans held by http://www.nezperce.com/nptriumph-summary.html

Summary “Nez Perce Triumph at Clarks Fork Canyon” By Stan Hoggatt Excerpts from Nez Perce Trail Map 1 of 2 The story of the Nez Perce in Yellowstone during the Nez Perce War of 1877 is a poignant story of the triumph of the Nimiipuu (the people) their character, principles and will to survive against overwhelming odds. The Nez Perce Yellowstone story is a story that has largely been untold. “Nez Perce Triumph at Clarks Fork Canyon” has at its foundation 14 years of archival research and fieldwork. It was always believed that archival research would enable us to determine the routes followed by the Nez Perce, which it did. However, not only was this true; but, in addition, research brought to light important historical information as yet unpublished which enables the reader to better understand the Nez Perce struggle to protect their ancestral lands. At the same time, a greater sensitive to the determination of the military forces aligned against Nez Perce to destroy them emerges. The Yellowstone story begins with an examination of why so many authors and historians came to so many different conclusions about the Nez Perce routes in Yellowstone and the Nez Perce story in Yellowstone by starting with the view of Native Americans held by Superintendent Norris as well as his conclusions about the routes they followed through Yellowstone. This provides an opportunity to examine the significance of Yellowstone to Native Americans, which unfortunately had been misunderstood and mis-characterized.

Nez Perce is a misnomer given by the interpreter of the Lewis and Clark expedition at the time they first encountered the tribe in . It is from the French , "pierced nose." This is an inaccurate description of the tribe. They did not practice nose piercing or wearing ornaments. The "pierced nose" tribe, though related to the Nez Perce, actually lived on and around the lower Columbia River , and in other areas of the Pacific Northwest Not surprisingly, the Nez Perce's name for themselves was Nee-me-poo, or "the People." This is perhaps the most common self-designation of aboriginal peoples the world over. The Nez Perce territory at the time of Lewis and Clark was approximately 17,000,000 acres (69,000 km²). It covered parts of Washington Oregon , and Idaho , in an area surrounding the Snake River and the Clearwater River . The Nez Perce, like many western
