The Niimíipu Native Americans of the American Northwest, known to most of the world by the term Nez Perce thanks to French fur trappers and traders, are a fascinating group of people who gave the world of horse lovers a wonderful gift: the Appaloosa! Though other tribes had appaloosas, the Niimíipu horses are considered the oldest stock of the Appaloosa breed. The Nez Perce horse was specially bred by crossing Appaloosas with another breed.... To take home this mare, fill out the form, answer the questions, and draw SOMETHING related to her. It can be her, it can be a headshot, it can be her tack, whatever you wish!

Describe a part of basic life for the Niimíipu: "The Nez Perce Indians gathered many roots for winter such as the camas bulb, bitterroot, khouse, and wild carrot and potato. They also collected gooseberries, blackberries, elderberries, and wild strawberries as well as pine nuts and sunflower seeds. They were hunters, often-hunting elk, moose, bear, mountain sheep, and goats. Clothing wise the Nez Perce Indian men wore fringed buckskin shirts with leggings, and moccasins. They occasionally wore gloves and a feathered bonnet. Women wore long dresses made of buckskin, cornhusk hats, and moccasins. The dresses were often decorated with elk teeth, beads, and dyes." - Info found here
