Chief Joseph(1840-1904), was a Nez Perce Indian warrior from the Oregon Territory. In 1887, he opposed moving his tribe to a reservation as demanded by the United States government. Finally, he reluctantly agreed. But there was this incident where white settlers died and the tribe was blamed. What Chief Joseph did was to lead his people to Canada.
