Wiyaxayxt / Wiyaakaa`awn / As Days Go By – Our History, Our Land, Our People –– The Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla: Wiyaxayxt / Wiyaakaa'awn / As Days Go By
Autor Jennifer Karsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2006
Primary to this history are native voices telling their own story. Beginning with ancient teachings and traditions, moving to the period of first contact with Euro-Americans, the Treaty council, war, and the reservation period, and then to today's modern tribal governance and the era of self-determination, the tribal perspective takes center stage. Throughout, readers will see continuity in the culture and in ways of life that have been present from the earliest times, all on the same landscape.
Wiyaxayxt (Columbia River Sahaptin) and Wiyaakaa'awn (Nez Perce) can be interpreted to mean "as the days go by," "day by day," or "daily living." They represent the meaning of the English term "history" in two of the common languages still spoken on the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
