All participants will receive an additional informative email one week prior to the trip, providing a basic orientation about what to expect and specific instructions about how to prepare for the trip. This day-long chartered tour will focus on the 19th century contact between white Americans and the indigenous Nimiipuu people who have inhabited the inland northwest since before human memory. We will review Lewis and Clark, the Spalding Mission, treaties made and broken, the outbreak of the bitter Nez Perce War of 1877, and the McBeth mission. Here is a sample of what attendees will experience on this tour: Walk the site of the first organized church in Idaho, the first printing press and the first irrigated fields west of the Rocky Mountains. Hear legends from time immemorial, tied to specific geological formations along the Clearwater River. See manmade objects older than Egypt’s pyramids, and consider what they tell us about the cultures that produced them. Walk the most important battlefield in the PNW, where the US Army suffered one of its last humiliating defeats in the American West, and follow a detailed recounting of the battle. See the physical remains of one of the most successful and controversial Christian missionary projects in the American West, and ponder what lessons it teaches about cross-cultural encounters. All sites will be individually explained by a professional interpreter who will also draw out their interconnections and relate them in a coherent story about the United States. Learn why events that occurred in Idaho warrant our serious attention—not merely as local lore, but as part of a larger story of the United States and of world civilization!
