In the The Teller. from Lewiston, North Idaho on Saturday, June 23, 1877, it tells about the fight between the white Idaho troops and the Indians who were in possession of the Camas Prairie. The Indians were showing aggression towards the settlers in that region, so the settlers called in the troops for back up. The Indians were very violent towards the settlers an the troops, which resulted in the defeat of the Idaho troops. The Indians in this news article fall into the stereotypes of Indians being the bad guys, and running around with spears trying to kill the settlers. They were violent towards the innocent people, and seemed to be wanting to start this war with the Idaho troops. I find it easy to empathize with the Indians because they seem to be trying to get their land back that they owned long before the American settlers showed up. None the less, the Indians were eager to start a fight and were violent towards innocent settlers.
