- Description:
- A curriculum text, created in collaboration with the Niimíipuu, designed to provide an introduction to the history and culture of the Nimíipuu (the Nez Perce), specifically for the context of supporting learning and understanding of the Niimíipuu - Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse Memorandum of Understanding (MOU 2025). The text was designed to be used in conjunction with the Nimíipuu Lifelong Learning Online (L3) web module: https://cdil.lib.uidaho.edu/nimiipuu-l3/
- Abstract:
- Besides an introduction to the history and culture of the Nimíipuu (the Nez Perce), the intended objectives of “Nimíipuu Notes” is to address the key elements of the Niimíipuu - Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse Memorandum of Understanding (MOU 2025). Those objectives include acknowledging: the inherent sovereignty of the Nimíipuu, the trauma resulting from Euro-American assimilation and hegemony, the Nimíipuu responses to that hegemony, the nature, dynamic and value of Nimíipuu kinship relationships, and the Nimíipuu importance of sharing with those in need. Ultimately, the objective of the “Nimíipuu Notes” is to better inform the members of the UUCP of the responsibilities being asked of them in the MOU. The six segments of “Nimíipuu Notes” are a series of small steps taken to help create and improve our “relationships of mutually beneficial sharing” between and among the MOU participants.
