Abstract
"All the chiefs that are on the reservation, except three participated in the council. These three named Big Thunder, Joseph and Jessie represent forty five lodges or about three hundred and seventy five souls and have persistently been opposed to the whites from the initiation of the treaty to the present time, but they are of a small force in the tribe that the loyal Nez Perce will not allow their nation to be judged from the action of these contumaceous ones."
