By June 14, 1877, about 600 Nez-Perses from the Joseph and White Bird bands had gathered in the village of Tepahlevame, a traditional spot on Lake Tolo on the Camas Prairie, six miles west of present Grangeville. On June 13, the White Bird band held a tel-link-leen ceremony there. Warriors in their holiday attire, riding horses, travelled around the camp, and each boasted of its military prowess and talked about military exploits. One of the older warriors named Red Bear Grizzlies began to dispute several young warriors whose relatives were killed by the Whites, but their death has not yet been avenged.
