<h3>Who is Chief Joseph?</h3>

When European settlers started moving into their tribal land in Oregon, Chief Joseph Nez Percé leader In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat (Approximately 1840 birth date; September 21, 1904 death date; Colville Reservation, Washington, U.S. ) led his men in a daring attempt to flee to Canada.

In the first part of the 19th century, the Nez Percé tribe was among the most powerful in the Pacific Northwest and one of the most hospitable to white people. Chief Joseph was schooled in a mission school and many Nez Percé, including his father, were converted to Christianity. Following the arrival of white settlers in the Pacific Northwest, the United States pressured the local Native Americans to give up their lands and accept relocation on small, frequently unappealing reserves. Because the leaders involved in the negotiations did not speak for their tribe, certain Nez Perce chiefs, including Chief Joseph's father, questioned the legality of the treaties that dealt with their territories and were made in 1855 and 1863.
