Which statement about the Nez Perce people is true?
a. They were excellent farmers who grew corn in eastern Washington state.
b. They were a weak and scattered tribe who lacked a strong leader.
c. They started a war with the U.S. to obtain gold mining rights in Oregon.
d. They often helped white hunters and trappers who passed through their land.
The statement “They were a weak and scattered tribe who
lacked a strong leader” is true about the Nez Perce people. So option “b” is the correct option as far as
this question is concerned. The Nez Perce people were nomadic in nature and
they moved from place to place for food. This nomadic tribe had more than 100 permanent
villages during 1800. Each village consisted of 50 to 600 people. Nez Perez
were considered the largest tribe in on the Columbia River Plateau during 1805.
