BEAR PAW!




The Great Spirit Watches!



This article was published in the Annual Expanded September/October Issue of THE BARNES REVIEW, A Journal of Politically Incorrect History. Here is the cover of this issue:


As you can probably guess, the issue is devoted to many instances of man's inhumanity to man. We invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

Here is our contribution which is in the style of photo-journalism, and begins

End of article. 

Some of the pictures printed in our story were taken from a myriad of photographs featured on the walls of the auditorium at Nez Perce National Historical Park at Lapwai, Idaho, the Headquarters Unit. There are some eight scattered units in this park, administered by the National Park Service.

In addition, many photographs were taken at Bear Paw and Park HQ at Lapwai, Idaho. They could not be included in the Journal due to space limitations. However, we publish a few of them here for your information and enjoyment!
