An internally produced, Indigenous commemorative booklet published in Lapwai - the seat of the Nez Perce Tribe - to mark the centennial of the tragic 1877 conflict and flight. Serving as a vital counter-narrative to traditional Euro-American military histories, the work re-centers the Nimiipuu perspective, mourning those who perished and honouring those who survived the 1,170-mile ordeal. Comprises of a highly important and detailed (partial) list of the Nez Perce individuals who participated in the war, with names listed alphabetically in romanized form. A remarkable genealogical record and an act of cultural reclamation, and an invaluable primary resource.

"We the young view our past history as a source of inspiration for we will become the leaders of tomorrow. Our ancestores fought all obstacles to presrve the cultural history for their children's children. It is to these tribal ancestors we humbly thank. This Booklet is dedicated to the men, women, and children who fought, died and survived the great ordeal, The War of 1877.".
