The Nez Perce Tribe

Taking into account the challenges they would have to face, they pleaded to let them stay in their homeland but the response was yet another that resulted in force when General Howard arrested Chief Toohoolhoolzote. The chiefs not wanting to wage war decided to leave their homeland but an event occurred where a few young Nez Perce warriors killed four settlers made matters worse (Edmunds). Consequently, this led to an attack that took place at White Bird Canyon dated June 17, 1877 (West). The repercussions of the conflict prompted a fifteen hundred mile journey for the Nez Perce. According to Evans, during that odyssey some 250 Nez Perce defeated the about 2000 U.S. army soldiers in a series of 18 embarrassing battles and skirmishes. The Nez Perce reaching the Bear Paw Mountains were only thirty to forty miles shy from Canada stopped for rest, thinking that the U.S. army was far behind but general Howard had notified Colonel Miles, who with his six hundred men rushed to intercept them (Calloway). During the battles of the fifteen hundred odyssey most of the chiefs died and in the battle of Big Hole somehow Chief White Bird along with three hundred men escaped and reach Canada while Chief Joseph after five days surrendered. The Nez Perce that surrendered were promised by Colonel Miles to be able to return to their homeland if they surrendered. According to Calloway the promise was a betrayal but arguably according to Edmunds

The natives didn’t get there rights they were promised,they were promised land yet they lost much,they were promised peace yet many died of war,the U.S. was unfair and unjust toward the nez perce and had forced them into signing the treatie and did not stand by it. Although the U.S, may say that they followed all the Natives rights and that they may not understand the treaties but still the natives rights weren’t followed as stated in the treatie.

Once the Sioux figured out that they now had a chance to push the Ponca’s out of Indian Territory, that’s just what they did. They took their crops, horses, and gave many threats towards them. The third most famous war called the Great Sioux war began in 1876. Although the U.S. government had won the war, it still didn’t mean they would stop pleasing the Sioux. The U.S. government gave what was left of the Ponca land to the Sioux. The treaty they made with the Ponca’s was completely broken. They cheated the Ponca Indians, and they were furious. In January 1877, Edward C. Kemble asked the Ponca’s to let him speak during church service. He told them that the government had given their fields and farm to the Sioux for a greater purpose. He also told them that they be getting new virgin lands in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). By this time the there only 738 Ponca Indians in the tribe, which meant they were not much of a force to the federal government.

Then, the government was pressured by settler to allow homesteads and the mining of gold. So Joseph Sr., one of the current leaders of the Nez-Perce Indians, was compelled to give up more of his precious home land in a new treaty. Following his passing in 1871 his son who was also called Chief Joseph, became the leader of the Nez-Perce Indians.

The dawn of the new American republic saw also the birth of U.S. Indian policy. In observing the bureaucracy of the United States government, one could clearly note the American view of proper dealings with Native peoples. It was the official U.S. policy to deal with the Indian tribes as separate foreign entities, grouping Choctaws, Shawnee, Cherokee and Creek peoples with the Spaniards, English and French. Curiously enough, the Secretary of War, not the Secretary of State, became responsible for Indian affairs. Clearly, the United States saw the Indians as a threat, either real or potential. In addition, the United States saw the Indians as a barrier to new and prosperous lands in the Western territories. An unofficial policy of provocation emerged. Using a multi-pronged assault, Americans would often enter Indian land and commit a crime worthy of retaliation by native peoples. Such an event precipitated Lord Dunmore's War; John Logan, a prominent Indian favored by many white men, was horrified to find his family murdered by white intruders. Vowing revenge, Logan led an attack on white settlements and the event quickly escalated to a full-blown war between the Shawnee and the whites, culminating in an Indian defeat and a subsequent land session. Such

With the Indian Removal Act passing through both houses of Congress, Jackson was free to begin his so-called negotiations. The Choctaws were the first to sign a treaty with the United States government. They were allowed to stay on a small area of their land, but they were given little protection. Their land was mercilessly stolen from them by nearby white settlers, and the government turned its eye while it happened. Sadly, the group had no other option but to give up their land and move west (PBS.org).

Nez Perce War - A band of Nez Perce Indians, led by a man called Chief Joseph by the white settlers, had some of their reservation taken away after gold was discovered on it. After a few young men in his tribe murdered four white settlers, a worried Chief Joseph took a group of more than 800 other Indians away from their reservation. The war officially started at the Battle of White Bird Canyon, on June 17, 1877. A series of battles then ensued, with most surprisingly ending with the victory of Chief Joseph, who many eventually considered a tactical

The Nez Perce and the elders were promised millions of acres of land near Wallowa, Oregon. When gold was discovered in their territory, the government wanted their land for gold mining. Prospectors began to stream on Nez Perce property looking for mineral deposits. The U.S Army tried to force them to live on a reservation and give up their land. Joseph refused to sign

The Nez Perce War was an armed conflict between several bands of the Nez Perce tribe of Native Americans and their allies, a small band of the Palouse tribe led by Red Echo (Hahtalekin) and Bald Head (Husishusis Kute), against the United States Army. The conflict, fought between June–October 1877, stemmed from the refusal of several bands of the Nez Perce, dubbed "non-treaty Indians", to give up their ancestral lands in the Pacific Northwest and move to an Indian reservation in Idaho. This forced removal was in violation of the 1855 Treaty of Walla Walla, which granted the tribe 7.5 million acres in their ancestral lands and the right to hunt and fish in lands ceded to the government.

He was born on March 3, 1840, in Wallowa Valley, Oregon Territory. “When the United States attempted to force the Nez Perce to move to a reservation in 1877, he reluctantly agreed. Joseph tried to lead his people away and to Canada in what is considered one of the greatest retreats in military history.” The leader of one band of the Nez Perce people, Chief Joseph was born Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt in 1840. He'd been one of the leaders to convert to Christianity, and he had gone a long way toward establishing peace with his neighbors. In 1855 he created a new treaty. After gold was discovered in the Nez Perce territory, white prospectors began to stream onto their lands. The relationship was soon upended when the United States government took

The Nez Perce are a tribe of Native Americans that live in the Northern part of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington state. They hunted for food and they gathered food to store for winter. They ate things like fish, deer, elk, moose, goats, dried roots, wild carrot, wild potato, and many types of berries.

The American’s and the Lakota’s entered a treaty that came to an end once a calf from a Mormon train was shot by a Lakota warrior and the Conquering Bear was killed by the men due to the act. The Conquering Bear was supposed to be the peace maker between the Indian’s and the U.S. and after this the United States lost the trust of the Lakota’s. Josepha was a Mexican woman in Downieville that was hung by the mob after she killed a drunken American that she awoke to in her bedroom. She stabbed the man and was not regretful the mob hung her.

They reside in the east of the Dakotas, Minnesota, and parts of Iowa. The westernmost Sioux, are renown for hunting, and warrior culture, they are referred to as the Lakota. The Nez Perce are a people who live in the Pacific Northwest region specifically. What I know about these three tribes is that there similarities are very much and the differences are very little. Like that their way of living is varied by the fact that they live in different places and live by different customs.

In 1876, Congress called for the removal of certain Native American tribes to ‘Indian Territory,’ which is in present-day Oklahoma. The Ponca tribe was one of the tribes called to be moved to the Indian Territory. The Ponca, unlike some of the other Indian tribes, actually had peaceful relations with the United States at the time. They did not fight back against the United States when government officials first came to visit the tribes; in fact, the Ponca tried to stay as diplomatic as possible with the U.S. and even signed treaties and trade agreements with them. However, the U.S. broke their treaties with the Ponca and instead removed them from their land to the Indian Territory. Chief Standing Bear, one of the chiefs in the Ponca tribe, tells his account of the removal of his tribe in the 1870s and how the United States poorly handled it.

The natives populating the world of The Tribez are a good-natured people that like to work hard and play hard. When designing the Tribezmen, our artists aimed to infuse them with as much charm and personality as they could -- and the results speak for themselves. The natives in The Tribez are carefree and simple folk that are wholly dependent on their chief (the player) for their survival. With a great mix of personalities at play, it's not hard for players to form a bond with their own tribe from the moment they become its leader.
