and the Fourth of July combination
Indians and the white people mingle
to enjoy all this celebration as
peaceful neighbors.
A reverse vision of the ancestral
ideas between the Indians and
whites, the early warning periods OF
1877 when Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perez fought to keep the white men
away from his root digging grounds
and the hunting grounds of his
ancestral inheritance in the rough
lands of the Whitebird district III
| Idaho.
His descendants, the peaceful and
friendly Nez Perez Indians, at the
Long House on July 4, welcomed all
their neighbors, mixed bloods and
whites, to join their annual Thanks
giving.
Instead of the chiefs present
thanking the Great Spirit of the
Indian Universe, they got up and
made speeches in different dialects
that the writer could not under
stand and was obliged to ask the
Indian interpreter at the Indian
agency, George Nanamkin, what
the Nez Perez Chief, Willie Star,
said.
He replied: "He said just about
what sam Socula Moses of the
Moses Columbia tribe, said.'
I understood what Sam said in
the Wenatchee dialect. Before we
started to eat the bountiful supply
of pies, cakes, canned food and
various native foods, he said:
warns Against Trouble
1--WE are here today, not for war
or trouble with our neighbors. We
came to seek friendship. We want
to welcome our visitors with res
pect. We must speak only kind
words and not seek trouble. Many
of our people that have left for the
Hunting Grounds the past year will
be missing in our midst. We vel
come their special friends, who
bring sad memories to our hearts
that ache for the lost relatives, but
we welcome them.
"Take care of your steps my
friends Do not find trouble by
drink Or breaking any law today"
Another interesting historical
character present at the Thanks
giving feast this year was Cleveland
He was one of the leaders of the
committee that made the feast such
a success this year. He is the sur
viving son of Chief Kamiakin.
