"You do not understand that Wallowa is my home. And you do not understand why... I have many names, but Thunder Rolling in the Mountains is the name that binds me forever to this Land of Wandering Water."

This shows that Wallowa is their home and not just a piece of land. They have a strong connection to it.

Elaborate

"By 1855, increasing numbers of settlers looking for land and prosperity expanded into Nez Perce country. That year Governor Isaac Stevens made a reservation of about 12,000 square miles..."
