NEZ PERCES (in allusion to their custom of wearing nose-rings, &c.)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 633 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NEZ PERCES (in allusion to their custom of wearing nose-rings, &c.) , a tribe of
North
  American Indians of Sahaptian stock. They
call
  themselves Shaptin (whence the stock name) but to other tribes were known as Chopunnish. Their former range was a large
tract
  in eastern
Washington
  and
Oregon
  and central
Idaho
 . Until 187 7 they had been at peace with the whites. In 1875 a portion of their
reservation
  having been taken from them, owing to the allegation that they had not carried out the treaty stipulations, difficulties arose which, two years later, caused the Nez Perces War. The disaffected portion of the tribe, numbering some 400 or 500, held out for several months against all the forces the government could bring up, but were finally captured on the Sweet Grass Hills, northern Montana. They were placed in
Indian
  Territory, but in 1884 transferred, owing to their decrease through disease,to a healthier locality in northern
Washington
 . The
main
  tribe are on a
reservation
  in northern
Idaho
 .
