Yellow Bull - NEZ PERCÉ
As a member of the family which more than any other was responsible for precipitating the Nez Percés outbreak of 1877, Yellow Bull proved a source of much valuable information. His son Wálai?tits was one of the three men who murdered the first white settlers in this conflict. The war-bonnet of eagle-feathers with pendant weasel skins, as well as the otter-fur wrappings of the hair braids, indicates the extent to which the Nez Percés were influenced by the Indians of the prairies, whom they met in their annual pilgrimage to the buffalo country.
