Answer 2

The statement “They were a weak and scattered tribe who lacked a strong leader” is true about the Nez Perce people. So option “b” is the correct option as far as this question is concerned. The Nez Perce people were nomadic in nature and they moved from place to place for food. This nomadic tribe had more than 100 permanent villages during 1800. Each village consisted of 50 to 600 people. Nez Perez were considered the largest tribe in on the Columbia River Plateau during 1805.
