been for a few like the woman
whose death has just been re-
corded.
A tragic side to the story is
the fact that even devout men
like DIR. Spalding, in their zeal to
develop their own mission sta
tons and encourage settlers
often adopted practices of the
other whites who deliberately
preyed upon the Indians. DR..
Spalding had been befriended be-
cause he came to the Nez Perez
as a teacher. but after he gained
the confidence of the Indians he
opened a trading post stocked
with supplies sent from the east.
That put him. in the eyes Of
some of the Indians, on the same
level with the traders who had
been cheating them, and a plot
was organized to destroy the
mission station.
Again it was the friendship Of
Himekeish and others that saved
the Spalding party. They hur-
ried the missionaries out of the
country and provided guides and
guards who saw them safely be-
You'd the realm Of the Nez Perez.
The story of Himeheish en-
phasises a side of the Indian
character that is too often over
looked. OF course some Of the
Indians resented the coming Of
the white man to deprive them
of lands they had occupied for
generations. They expressed
their resentment in the only way
they knew and the white man
made the situation still more
acute by unduly severe discip-
linary measures. On top Of that
the white man broke the treaties
made with the Indians.
It Is related that when Chief
Moses. after be had been chased
from his home in the west to
Dakota. said when finally cap
tured, when will the white man
Learn 20 tell the truth ?"
The white man. through the
mission stations, taught the In
dian that he must always tell
the truth and that when he had
given his word he must not break
it. The Indian couldn't u2der-
stand why he should keep his
word IL the white man didn't
That was the foundation Of many
Of the serious Indian outbreaks.
