The Official Proceedings at the Council in the Walla Walla Valley
and Lawrence Kip's Indian Council in the Walla Walla Valley, along
with James Doty's Journal of Operations, are an exlent source of
first hand information on the treaty proceedings. Also reprinted
are the texts of the three treaties signed at the end of the
council, and the text of three more conferences held by the
military authorities with several of these tribesman after the
battles of 1855 and 1856. These documents provide an insight,
however imperfectly translated, into the way the Columbia basin
Native Americans viewed what the land they lived on meant to them,
and how different their views on land ownership was from the
European views of ownership of defined tracts of land.

Throughout the 1850s, Native peoples of the inland Northwest
actively resisted white encroachments into their traditional
territories. Tensions exploded in 1858 when nearly one thousand
Palouses, Spokanes, and Coeur d'Alenes routed an invading force
commanded by Colonel Edward Steptoe. In response, Colonel George
Wright mounted a large expedition into the heart of the Columbia
Plateau to punish and subdue its Native peoples. Opposing Wright's
force was a loose confederacy of tribes led by the famous warrior
Kamiakin.
Indian War in the Pacific Northwest is a vivid and valuable
first-person account of that aggressive and bloody military
campaign. Related by Lawrence Kip, a young lieutenant serving under
Wright, it provides a rare glimpse of military operations and
campaign life along the far western frontier before the Civil War.
Replete with colorful prose and acute observations, his journal is
also notable for its dramatic descriptions of clashes with
Kamiakin's men and compelling portraits of leading figures on both
sides of the Plateau Indian War.
The new introduction provides the historical and cultural
background and aftermath of the conflict, explores its effects on
present-day Native peoples of the Columbia Plateau, and critically
assesses Kip's observations and interpretations. Also included in
this Bison Books edition are two Native accounts of the conflict by
Kamiakin and Mary Moses.
