These peaceable and prosperous people were oppressed, persecuted, misunderstood, and badgered, yet avoided war until fateful forces pushed them into it. McWhorter was devoted to the Nez Perce and spent years interviewing, researching, then recording their legends and history. This is their complete record as told by the Indians themselves.
