IMMERSION: Homecoming: Chief Joseph’s Promise and the Flight of the Nez Perce
Welcome back to the Hidden Trails of Oregon! In the first episode
of our new season, host Aaron Millar heads to the eastern edge of the
state, far from the bustle of coastal cities and the craggy heights of
the cascade mountains.
We're going on location in the traditional lands of the Nez Perce to
uncover a piece of history unknown to most outsiders. In the
late 19th century, the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce tribe were driven
from their homeland. 200 warriors, protecting hundreds more women and
children, fought for five days against 520 US soldiers. Their leader,
before surrendering, promised his people that one day they would come
home. After nearly 200 years, his promise may just be starting to come
true.
This is a unique story of generational resilience, cultural preservation, and the ongoing work for recognition and ancestral lands.
