Title	Last full-blooded Palouse Indian poses for camera
Description	Last full-blooded Palouse Indian poses for camera. - Sam Fisher, center, last full-blooded Palouse Indian, is pictured here with his wife, Helen, and B. F. Manring, author of the accompanying article. The photograph was taken in front of Sam's rough board shanty on the site of the ancient tribal headquarters near the confluence of the Palouse and Snake rivers. The tribe, which once roamed a wide area extending back to the foothills of the Coeur d'Alene mountains, was dispersed and lost its tribal identity following the Indian wars of the last century. Fisher's wife is a Nez Perce woman.
