the board's decision, but it was
opposed by landowners, many
of whom have paid taxes on the

CEDAR CIT', Utah (AP) -More
than 600 people attended
a powwow observing the 25th
anniversary of the restoration
of the Paiute Tribe of Utah.
The powwow on Sunday, June

days of festivities that tribal
Nez Perce
display 150-year-old
tepee
SPALDING, Idaho (AP)-A
150-year-old bison-hide tepee,
one of just a few surviving te
pees of its kind in the US, has
been displayed at a national his
toric park in northcentral Idaho
for the first time in a half cen
tury. Wearing crisp white gloves,
National Park Service employ
ees at the Nez Perce I listorical
Park gingerly brought the frag
ile tepee out of storage Wednes
day to be photographed.
The photos were taken for
the National Park Service's
"Teaching with Museum Collec
tions" program, which is based
on the premise that National
Park sites keep troves of arti
facts in their collections that the
public will never see.
The tepee predates the 1,400
mile flight of Chief Joseph in
1877, when the leader of the
Nez Perce tribe and a band of
some 700 followers fled an ad
vancing US. Cavalry before ul
timately surrendering near the
Canadian border.
leaders say drew more than
2,000 people.
Jerry Bear, dance contest
announcer, said, "We're still In
dians no matter what, but to
have the restoration of recog
nition is significant and that's
what this gathering is all about."
According to the state Office
of Indian Affairs, the five
Paiute Bands in southern Utah
united in the 19th Century when
reservations were established.
The bands are the Shivwits, In
dian Peaks, Kanosh, Koosharcm
and Cedar.
All but the Cedar Band were
terminated from federal recog
nition in 1954. Since the Cedar
Band received no federal assis
tance, it suffered de facto ter
mination, and, like the other
bands, became ineligible for any
federal assistance.
