Re: [RC] [RC] History of Suicide Race - Karen Sullivan

I do have the old Disney movie, proabably 60's., it was called Run
Appaloosa Run, and sort of glorified the Omak Stampede Suicide RAce as
a testing ground for the Nez Pierce Appys.....no idea what the truth
is....

I remember reading an article about this race in Western Horseman at least
35 years ago, and as such I cannot recall the exact details other than this
is part of the Indian tribal culture.  Seems like it was included in a
Disney movie made back in the 50s, too.

Without specific data, understanding of the tribal mentality, and historical
research we will only be posting our reactions.  If there are any historians
out there who can illuminate this discussion, I'd surely appreciate it.

Thank you,
