Pinkham and Steven Ross Evans have examined the journals of Lewis and Clark with painstaking care to tease out new insights from what Lewis and Clark wrote about their Nez Perce hosts. Pinkham and Evans evaluate both what Lewis and Clark understood and what they misunderstood in the Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) lifeway and political structure. More particularly they have re-examined the journals for clues about how the Nez Perce reacted to the bearded strangers. They have also gathered together and put into print for the first time the stands of a surprisingly rich Nez Perce oral tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLewis and Clark Among the Nez Perce\u003c\/i\u003e is a generous and careful re-evaluation of what we all thought we knew about Lewis and Clark west of the Bitterroot Mountains. It is also a template for a series of tribal histories of the Lewis and Clark expedition that will be inspired by this book. Incidents we thought we knew backward and forward suddenly take on a new light when the historical lens is reversed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dakota Institute, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029626667248,"sku":"9780983405986","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780983405986_p0.jpg?v=1763886155","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983405986","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
