Facsimile of treaty from U.S. Senate. Committee on Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties, Vol 2 (Treaties) compiled and edited by Charles J. Kappler [2nd edition]. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1904 (Y4.In2/2:L44/2). pp 702 - 706. These documents form the legal relationship with the U.S. government and the Nez Perce people, not only beginning with the first treaty in 1855, but today, for the treaties still dictate how the federal and state governments interact with the Nez Perce tribe. |
