Quick Takes: Art and Culture
‘The Nez Perce Story: An
Introduction’ Feb. 13
JOSEPH — Rich Wandschnei-
der will lead a workshop about
The Nez Perce Story on Saturday,
Feb. 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. (there will be two 10-minute
breaks).
The session will be on the Zoom
computer app. Class size is limited
to 15. Please pre-register by Feb. 9
at https://josephy.org/event/the-nez-
perce-story-an-introduction.
The Nez Perce Story class will
cover:
• Traditional Plateau Indian
culture and the impacts of white
arrivals: disease, horses, fur trade,
missionaries, settlers, and miners.
This will take us up to the War of
1877.
• Immediate events preceding
the War: Treaties of 1855, 1863,
and Grant’s proposed division
of the Wallowa Country in 1873.
Some but not too much attention
to the war itself; this is covered in
numerous books and articles.
• The war’s aftermath, from
Bear’s Paw to Indian Territory, and
from Indian Territory back to the
Northwest — but not to Oregon.
Where and how the Nez Perce peo-
ple live today; three reservations,
a National Historical Park and the
Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland.
