CHIEF JOSEPH - NEZ PERCÉ
The name of Chief Joseph is better known than that of any other Northwestern Indian to him popular opinion has given the credit of conducting a remarkable strategic movement from Idaho to northern Montana in the flight of the Nez Percés in 1877. Their unfortunate effort to retain what was rightly their own makes an unparalleled story to the annals of the Indians' resistance to the greed of the whites. That they made this final effort is not surprising. Indeed, it is remarkable that so few tribes rose in a last struggle against such dishonest and relentless subjection.
