All the tribes living west of the Rocky Mountains were called "Chupnit-pa-lu", which means people of the pierced noses; it also means emerging from the bushes or forest; the people from the woods. The tribes on the Columbia river used to pierce the nose and wear in it some ornament as you have seen some old fashioned white ladies wear in their ears. Lewis and Clark had with them an interpreter whose <a href="/wiki/Sacagawea" title="Sacagawea">wife was a Shoshone or Snake woman</a> and so it came about that when it was asked "What Indians are these?" the answer was "They are 'Chupnit-pa-lu<span style="padding-right:.15em;">'</span>" and it was written down in the journal; spelled rather queerly, for white people's ears do not always catch Indian tones and of course the Indians could not spell any word.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>In his journals, <a href="/wiki/William_Clark_(explorer)" class="mw-redirect" title="William Clark (explorer)">William Clark</a> referred to the people as the Chopunnish <span class="rt-commentedText nowrap"><span class="IPA nopopups noexcerpt" lang="en-fonipa"><a href="/wiki/Help:IPA/English" title="Help:IPA/English">/<span style="border-bottom:1px dotted"><span title="/ˈ/: primary stress follows">ˈ</span><span title="/tʃ/: 'ch' in 'China'">tʃ</span><span title="/oʊ/: 'o' in 'code'">oʊ</span><span title="'p' in 'pie'">p</span><span title="/ə/: 'a' in 'about'">ə</span><span title="'n' in 'nigh'">n</span><span title="/ɪ/: 'i' in 'kit'">ɪ</span><span title="/ʃ/: 'sh' in 'shy'">ʃ</span></span>/</a></span></span>, a transliteration of a Sahaptin term.

The explorers were favorably impressed by the Nez Perce whom they met. Preparing to make the remainder of their journey to the Pacific by boats on rivers, they entrusted the keeping of their horses until they returned to "2 brothers and one son of one of the Chiefs." One of these Indians was <i>Walammottinin</i> (meaning "Hair Bunched and tied," but more commonly known as Twisted Hair). He was the father of <a href="/wiki/Hallalhotsoot" title="Hallalhotsoot">Chief Lawyer</a>, who by 1877 was a prominent member of the "Treaty" faction of the tribe. The Nez Perce were generally faithful to the trust; the party recovered their horses without serious difficulty when they returned.<sup id="cite_ref-josephy_47-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-josephy-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Recollecting the Nez Perce encounter with the Lewis and Clark party, in 1889 anthropologist Alice Fletcher wrote that "the Lewis and Clark explorers were the first white men that many of the people had ever seen and the women thought them beautiful." She wrote that the Nez Perce "were kind to the tired and hungry party. They furnished fresh horses and dried meat and fish with wild potatoes and other roots which were good to eat, and the refreshed white men went further on, westward, leaving their bony, wornout horses for the Indians to take care of and have fat and strong when Lewis and Clark should come back on their way home." On their return trip they arrived at the Nez Perce encampment the following spring, again hungry and exhausted. The tribe constructed a large tent for them and again fed them. Desiring fresh red meat, the party offered an exchange for a Nez Perce horse. Quoting from the Lewis and Clark diary, Fletcher writes, "The hospitality of the Chiefs was offended at the idea of an exchange. He observed that his people had an abundance of young horses and that if we were disposed to use that food, we might have as many as we wanted." The party stayed with the Nez Perce for a month before moving on.<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce">Flight of the Nez Perce</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nez_Perce&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Flight of the Nez Perce"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Nez_Perce_War" title="Nez Perce War">Nez Perce War</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce-1877-map.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce-1877-map.jpg/220px-Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce-1877-map.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="144" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce-1877-map.jpg/330px-Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce-1877-map.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce-1877-map.jpg/440px-Flight_of_the_Nez_Perce-1877-map.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2800" data-file-height="1833" /></a><figcaption>Map showing the flight of the Nez Perce and key battle sites</figcaption></figure> <p>The Nez Perce were one of the tribal nations at the <a href="/wiki/Walla_Walla_Council_(1855)" class="mw-redirect" title="Walla Walla Council (1855)">Walla Walla Council (1855)</a> (along with the <a href="/wiki/Cayuse_people" title="Cayuse people">Cayuse</a>, <a href="/wiki/Umatilla_people" title="Umatilla people">Umatilla</a>, <a href="/wiki/Walla_Walla_people" title="Walla Walla people">Walla Walla</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Yakama" title="Yakama">Yakama</a>), which signed the Treaty of Walla Walla.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Under pressure from the <a href="/wiki/European_Americans" title="European Americans">European Americans</a>, in the late 19th century the Nez Perce split into two groups: one side accepted the coerced relocation to a reservation and the other refused to give up their fertile land in Washington and Oregon.
