A fantastic read. Chief Kamiakin was Yakama and Palouse and fought the encroachment of Whites and the U.S. government on tribal lands in Eastern WA State and north Idaho. Books follows Inland NW tribal effort to defend their rights and treaties into the 70s. And my May #bookspin book. Took me a long time because of all my note taking and because I work with his descendants to restore salmon. @TheAromaofBooks

Appreciating this history of a Tribal chief and warrior who fought hard for his people, trying to stop the U.S. from stealing their land. I now live on that land. Here is a shot of the land Spokane, Palouse tribes among other call home. Beautiful country.

Morning walk seeing many flowers and plants mentioned in tagged book. So many birds and moose sign as well. Need to look at my plant book when I get home to remember the name of this one. #bookspin oh, and I perfected my turkey call and can now get turkeys to answer me!
