After the Nez Percé Indians War of 1877, Chief Joseph and his followers were taken to reservations in what is now Oklahoma. The Indian Commissioner sent Dr. W. H. Faulkner, a special agent, to arrange the transfer and relocation of the Nez Percé Indians to the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Faulkner negotiated a compromise that divided the group. Some were to go to the Lapwaii, ID reservation and some to Colville, WA reservation. The reason they were divided was because of the outstanding murder warrants and threats for Chief Joseph and some others in the party if they went to Idaho. The Nez Percé Indians, along with Dr. Faulkner, arrived in Wallula, WA in May 1885. From there, they were divided into 2 groups. About 150 Nez Percé Indians were relocated to the Colville Reservation and 118 to the Nez Percé Indian Reservation in Lapwaii, ID.
