	PBS - THE WEST - Oliver Otis Howard
		Five years later, in 1877, Howard faced a different situation in Oregon, where he was sent to persuade a Nez Percé band led by Chief Joseph to leave their homeland in the Wallowa Valley for the reservation assigned to them in Lapwai, Idaho.
		Howard found himself agreeing with Joseph that his people had never signed a treaty giving up their homeland, but in Howard's view this did not change the fact that eastern Oregon was no longer a place where Indians could roam free.
		Howard's military career after the Nez Percé War included serving as superintendent of West Point for several years and as the commanding officer of the Department of the Platte and the Division of the East.

	Oliver Otis Howard
		Howard once attended a dinner party where the topic of conversation was the scandalous marriage of a young rich officer to an Indian girl he had met while serving in the West.
		Howard's response was that he believed all Indian "wives" taken by soldiers in the West, were, in the eyes of God, legitimate wives, and when soldiers abandoned them to return East and marry white women, they all were committing bigamy.
		Howard's own opinion, recorded in an 1876 report, was, "I think it is a great mistake to take from Joseph and his band of Nez Perces Indians that valley...and possibly Congress can be induced to let these really peaceable Indians have this poor valley for their own." His plea was not heard.
