Great video! 'Fun' Fact: The spot where they natives where hung in Latah Valley is called Hangman Valley. There's a golf course and upperclass community there. its...surreal, frankly.

Fantastic. I love watching these and finding out what's happened in my backyard so long ago. Thank you!

Following the Horse Camp Slaughter and encouragement from Spokanerunners, Owhi visited Colonel George Wright at his camp on Latah Creekintending to negotiate peace. During the meeting he was seized and put in irons.[5] Wright told him that if his son didn't surrender within four days, Owhi was to be hanged.[5] Despite Wright stating his intention to send Qualchan a message demanding he come to the camp,[5] Native witnesses deny one was ever sent.[6] Qualchan regardless appeared at the tent of Wright soon enough, accompanied by his wife Whist-alks and brother Lo-Kout.[5][6][7] It has been speculated that Qualchan may have been unaware that his father had been taken prisoner and instead had been sent by Kamiakin to determine from Wright the treatment the Yakama would receive if they surrendered.[citation needed]Some say he was captured in a brief gun battle while his wife and brother managed to escape.[8][9] Qualchan's sister Mary Moses said Lo-kout and Qualchan's wife were captured, but released when the Spokane Indians assured the soldiers that they were no relation of Qualchan.[6] The only record of the meeting exists in a report made by Colonel Wright who wrote "Qualchan came to see me at 9 o'clock, at 9:15 he was hung". Later records claim Qualchan cursed Kamiakin before being killed, though this was disputed by his family members alive at the time.[6] His body was made nude after the garments were taken by the executors, who put the corpse partially covered in a shoal.[6] His father was shot several days later attempting to escape from the camp, his saddle given to later Surgeon GeneralJoseph Barnes.

800 horses slaughtered. Now that’s just heartbreaking.

[@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879]

you should hear the local natives tell the story. I'm not a horse fan...and it brought tears to my eyes. The Spokane Tribe went through a cultural genocide. Their people weren't killed ....their culture and history, sadly, was.

Coor da lean lol

[@justcolin83]

The pronunciation of the city names is killing me.

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

Great video but your pronunciation is a bit off. It's pewjit sound, coor da lane, and oregonian not oregani.

[@ndn1695]

Kamiakin was also part Nisqually. What happened to Leschi was personal for Kamiakin.
