please lore drop about any current interest
This might be like a crazy random thing considering this is a hockey blog lowkey. But I’ve been doing a lot of reading about the nimi•pu• (Nez Perce Tribe) and what they had to go through as western expansion really start to take hold. Like obviously Manifest Destiny and these thoughts of U.S. superiority are thriving and this follows them in forms of harassment, violence, and displacement. If anyone is interested some major points would be the 1855 and 1863 treaties, Tolo Lake and the Salmon River Raids, Battle at White Bird, Flight of 1877, and the Battles at Big Hole and Bear Paw. I’m currently reading about four books at the same, and have two on the back burner atm lol. There’s a lot of first hand accounts from the nimi•pu•, military soldiers and civilian volunteers, and just random settlers and newspapers at the time. It’s interesting to be able to get all these points of views and accounts about all of these events.
Other than this, my 1978-1980 Brandon Wheat Kings interest and research is alive and well. I have probably like 400 newspaper clipping saved for that first season. But it’s staying on a brief pause.
I am also waiting on my compound bow right now. I brought it up to a store to figure out what I need to do with it as I was originally planning and looking into recurve bows only. But these guys are going to re-string it, tune it, and clean it for me. And then they’ll show me how to do all that, as well as how to to use it. And I’ll pick up some arrows and a target when I get the bow back.
