cultural differences between the Nez Perce and the U.S. government and European-American settlers—especially their beliefs and values?

Answers

Answer:

Nez Percé, self-name Nimi’ipuu, North American Indian people whose traditional territory centred on the lower Snake River and such tributaries as the Salmon and Clearwater rivers in what is now northeastern Oregon, southeastern Washington, and central Idaho, U.S. They were the largest, most powerful, and best-known of the Sahaptin-speaking peoples. They call themselves the Nimiipuu but were known by various names by other groups. The French called them the Nez Percé (“Pierced Nose”), having mistakenly identified individuals whom they saw wearing nose pendants as members of the Nimiipuu, though the Nimiipuu do not pierce their noses.As inhabitants of the high plateau region between the Rocky Mountains and the coastal mountain system, the Nez Percé are considered to be Plateau Indians. Historically, as one of the easternmost Plateau groups, they also were influenced by the Plains Indians just east of the Rockies. Like other members of this culture area, the Nez Percé domestic life traditionally centred on small villages located on streams having abundant salmon, which, dried, formed their main source of food. They also sought a variety of game, berries, and roots. Their dwellings were communal lodges, A-framed and mat-covered, varying in size and sometimes housing as many as 30 families.

After they acquired horses early in the 18th century, life for the Nez Percé began to change dramatically, at least among some groups. Horse transport enabled them to mount expeditions to the eastern slope of the Rockies, where they hunted bison and traded with Plains peoples. Always somewhat warlike, the Nez Percé became more so, adopting many war honours, war dances, and battle tactics common to the Plains, as well as other forms of equestrian material culture such as the tepee. The Nez Percé built up one of the largest horse herds on the continent. They were almost unique among Native Americans in conducting a selective breeding program, and they were instrumental in creating the Appaloosa breed.

As the 18th century progressed, the Nez Percé’s increased mobility fostered their enrichment and expansionism, and they began to dominate negotiations with other tribes in the region. The 19th century was a period of increasing change in Nez Percé life. Just six years after the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark visited the Nez Percé in 1805, fur traders and trappers began penetrating the area; they were followed later by missionaries. By the 1840s emigrant settlers were moving through the area on the Oregon Trail. In 1855 the Nez Percé agreed to a treaty with the United States that created a large reservation encompassing most of their traditional land. The 1860 discovery of gold on the Salmon and Clearwater rivers, which generated an influx of thousands of miners and settlers, led U.S. commissioners in 1863 to force renegotiation of the treaty. The new treaty reduced the size of the reservation by three-fourths, and continued pressure from homesteaders and squatters reduced the area even more. In the early 21st century the Nez Percé tribal nation, located on its reservation in north-central Idaho, had more than 3,500 citizens.

explain by your own words what is vegan and what do they eat

( at least 5 sentences )

Answers

Answer: A vegan is a person who tries to avoid eating meat.

Explanation: This happens because of environmental, health, or ethical reasons. Sometimes vegans, become vegans because its bad for their health or because they start to think deeply about animals and they think they deserve a life such as we do. A vegan’s particular diet sticks to fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, breads, rice, pasta, and dairy alternatives such as almond milk, or coconut milk. Vegans don’t drink regular milk or eat cheese because they’re foods related to animals. These are two dairy products that vegans try to avoid. I guess you can consider that being lactose intolerant.

The hero journey.

Author looks at how kids can face tight spots
By Mary Quattlebaum, Washington Post on 11.19.18
Torrey Maldonado is the author of the novel "Tight" which deals with children and their power to make choices.
Torrey Maldonado likes to ask this question when he talks at schools about his new novel, "Tight." "Every kid's hand goes up," said Maldonado, in a phone interview from his home in Brooklyn, New York. "They all have an answer: super speed, super strength, flying." In his book, the main character, Bryan, wishes he was as smart as the superheroes Black Panther and Batman, who think ahead and figure things out. His best friend, Mike, wants to be as strong as Luke Cage. But Maldonado reminds kids that they already have an important power: the power to choose. Maldonado knows that can be easier to say than to act on. He, too, faced tough choices in middle school, just like Bryan. He knows the choice is rarely between an absolute right and an absolute wrong. Take Bryan's friend, for example, Mike, who is smart and likable. Both boys love hanging out for hours, reading comic books and discussing superheroes. But Mike has another side. He talks Bryan into doing stuff that Bryan has always thought is wrong, such as skipping school and jumping turnstiles to ride the subway without paying. When Bryan pushes back, however, Mike makes fun of him for being "soft" and scared. Bryan doesn't want to lose his only real friend, and he doesn't want others in his Brooklyn neighborhood, especially his tough dad, to see him as "soft." When Mike's risk-taking gets another kid into big trouble, Bryan doesn't know what to do or how to step away from the friendship. When Maldonado talks to students about his book and their choices, he says he often feels as if he's "talking to a younger me." Growing up in a neighborhood like Bryan's, Maldonado knew kids like Mike, and now that he's a middle-school teacher, he sees his students faced with similar choices. "Most of us have had Mikes in our lives," he said. "A bully isn't just someone who steals your lunch money; some are cool and popular, like Mike. How do you deal with them?" Maldonado worked hard to create Mike as a complicated character. He didn't want Mike to be a caricature of a bad guy, but to have positive traits as well as flaws in order to make him more believable. When he was a kid, Maldonado had someone who tried to show him the power of choice: his mother. She encouraged his writing since he was "in diapers," he said with a laugh. Her own writing inspired him. "I loved it when she would open her spiral notebook and ask my opinion about a poem she had written, or a quote" that she liked, he added. When his mom realized she was the model for Bryan's strong, loving mother in the book, she was so touched that "she started crying," Maldonado said. The author is working on a new novel, about a mixed-race boy. As he juggles teaching and writing, Maldonado says he sometimes wishes he had a certain superpower. "Super speed like the Flash," he said. "That way, I could write all the stories I have in my head."
