Nez Perce - Nez Perce The Nez Perce are a tribe of Native Americans who inhabited the Pacific Northwest region of North America and adjoining regions at the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Nez Perce is a misnomer given by the interpreter of the Lewis and Clark expedition at the time they first encountered the tribe in 1805. It is from the French, "pierced nose." This is an inaccurate description of the tribe. They did not practice nose piercing or wearing ornaments. The "pierced nose" tribe, though related to the Nez Perce, actually lived on and around the lower Columbia River, and in other areas of the Pacific Northwest. Not surprisingly, the Nez Perce's name for themselves was Nee-me-poo, or "the People." This is perhaps the most.

Appaloosa - Spotted horses were known and prized in Europe, before horses were brought to the Americas. However, in the New World, the Nez Perce tribe particularly valued horses with these patterns, and modern Appaloosas are believed to descend from the herds of this tribe. The physical conformation of the Appaloosa is secondary to the coloration, but the build of the horse is generally similar to that seen in the American Quarter Horse, partly because the American Quarter Horse was used to "improve" the conformation of the Appaloosa when the breed was being established. The early Appaloosas were short, stout & fast. The Nez Perce did almost everything from horseback, so the animal had to be short-coupled & close to the ground. The Quarter horses added height & the beautiful confirmation we see.

Selective breeding - the animals use three strategies to refine local populations. The Appaloosa horse, which was developed by the Nez Perce Indians in the Northwest United States, provides an example. The Spanish had established horse breeding in what is now New Mexico by about 1600, and the Spanish of that era were known to have horses with spotted coats. By 1806 (when they are mentioned in journals kept by the Lewis and Clark expedition) the Nez Perce had developed strong, hardy, spotted horses.
