Describe a part of basic life for the Niimíipu: "We, the Nez Perce people, call ourselves Nimi'ipuu, which means the "real people" or "we the people."

Southern neighboring tribes (Shoshone, Bannock) referred to the Nimi'ipuu as "people under the tule" because Nimi'ipuu's main dwelling was the tule mat-covered, double lean-to long house. The principal dwelling switched from tule mat-covered long house to a conical structure (tipi) by the 1800's. Tule is a long thin reed that when wet slightly increases in size to make a tight seal on the tules (tules are tied together to form the walls). In the summer time the tules allow the air to flow and circulate. The southern neighbors also referred to Nimi'ipuu as "Khouse eaters" because we Nimi'ipuu not only hunted for food but we also gathered roots and berries. One of the roots we gathered was a root we call khouse. Khouse is used for food and medicine.

The name "Nez Perce" was given to us through an interpreter with the 1805 Lewis and Clark expedition. The French Canadians interpreted the meaning as "Pierced Nose." However this cultural practice was not common to the Nimi'ipuu."

Describe a part of basic life for the Niimíipu: Fishing is an important ceremonial, subsistence, and commercial activity for the Nez Perce tribe. Nez Perce fishers participate in tribal fisheries in the mainstream Columbia River between Bonneville and McNary dams. The Nez Perce also fish for spring and summer Chinook salmon and steelhead in the Snake River and its tributaries. The Nez Perce tribe runs the Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery on the Clearwater River, as well as several satellite hatchery programs.

Nez Perce people historically depended on fish for their food. Chinook salmon were eaten the most, but other species such as lampreys, whitefish, and chiselmouth. Prior to contact with Europeans, the Nez Perce's traditional hunting and fishing areas spanned from the Cascade Range in the west to the Bitterroot Mountains in the east.

Story: I was a trouble maker in my younger years. In fact, they even called me trouble maker. Jumping fences and always escaping - I was an escape artist. They couldn't keep me still. Whatever paddock they put me in, I would jump it. I didn't understand that fences were designed to keep me in, not let me out. Nevertheless, I kept jumping fences, and escaping. My owners began to notice my talent! It isn't unusual to see a Nez Perce horse jumping, but at the height I was jumping, I had a pretty unusual talent. My owners then began to free jump me, seeing just how high I could go. When I was broken in, I began to jump with a rider on my back. I found it unusual that they wanted me to jump on purpose! But hey, it is what I want to do, right? I can see the birds eye view of things, which is why my owners re-named me to Bird's Eye View - or Sakuna, which is Native American for Bird.

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

This...actually came out to a tie when I tallied up points! So I spent time and used the names for my final count. :3 Tynahi is taking her home, however, {horse} will be getting a solid colored horse on these lines, without tack. Thank you for the four people who tried out and finished forms!
