Originally released in 1986 as Renegade Tribe, this award-winning title sensitively analyzes the compelling saga of the Great Columbia Plateau's Snake River-Palouse. These resilient tribal people resisted settler colonialism and fought tenaciously to preserve their way of life. They never abandoned the struggle for tribal sovereignty, opposing the Walla Walla Treaties of 1855 and fighting as patriots during the 1855-58 Plateau Indian War. Snake River-Palouse initially refused to move to northwestern reservations, but many gradually relocated there during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries where descendants live today. This remarkable story springs from in-depth archival research and several Native American voices, providing an indigenous perspective on the dramatic events that led to the survival of the Snake River-Palouse. This revised edition offers a new introduction and epilogue by the authors and an insightful foreword by Wilson Wewa, a descendant of Chief Tilcoax. Book jacket.
