On the Trail of the Nez Perce
|
|
Searching for the Promised Land
While cycling in Wyoming in 2001, I bumped into the Nez Perce
Historical Trail northwest of Cody, Wyoming on the harshly named Dead
Indian Pass. I hopped off of my bicycle and read a historical marker
briefly describing the 1877 flight of the Nez Perce Indians, who were
being hotly pursued by the U.S. Army (see cover story, May/June 2006).
I made a “mental sticky note” to further investigate this bit of
history. By Jeff Sambur.

Native Renaissance in Hawaii
|
|
 There was no alphabet. No written language. No metal for tools. No clay for pots. No wheels. Yet these prehistoric Pacific islanders voyaged across great oceans, created a sophisticated society and left a cultural heritage that still flourishes in the Hawaiian Islands.

Alaska Journeys
|
|
 From the dense rain forests and slowly retreating glaciers of the south, to the massive mountain ranges and wide rivers of the interior, to the flat, frozen tundra and icy seas of the extreme north, Alaska is unsurpassed in variety and beauty of scenery. It is also home to some of the planet's most fascinating wildlife, whether your interest is birds, sea mammals or bears. And it is peerless in the diversity and abundance of its Native cultures.

The Makah of the Northwest Coast
|
|
 The Olympic Peninsula, on Washington State's northwest corner, is home to Olympic National Park and Cape Alava. Cape Alava was once home to the Ozette (pronounced Ho-sett) or the Ho-Selth, who called themselves Kwih-dich-chuh-ahtx or "people who live by rocks and seagulls." We now call these people the Makah, the name given by a neighboring tribe, the Jamestown S'Klallam, meaning "generous with food."

Eastern Cherokee
|
|
Just west of Cherokee, North Carolina, a grass-capped dome of earth rises gently from bottom land along the Tuckasegee River. Look closely-it\'s easy to miss. The dome, or mound, used to be much higher, but it has been plowed over many times by farmers, ground down the way eons of wind and rain have smoothed the Great Smoky Mountains looming close by.

Gifts from the Whales
|
|
 Clad in his white hunting parka, Malik braced one Sorrel boot against the wooden sled. He grabbed the rope that wove back and forth atop a load of camping gear, and with a mighty tug tied everything down. Then he turned his face into the east wind. "I feel really good today," the Iñupiat Eskimo hunter said, smiling. "A whale is coming. I can feel it. Someone is going to catch a whale today."
