Joseph, Chief

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.10 sec.

Joseph, Chief (c. 1840–1904)

American Indian chief of the Nez Percé people. After initially agreeing to leave tribal lands 1877, he later led his people in armed resistance. Defeated, Joseph ordered a mass retreat to Canada, but the Nez Percé were soon caught by General Nelson Miles. They were sent to the Colville Reservation, Washington 1885.

Born in the Wallowa Valley of Oregon, Joseph was the son of a Nez Percé leader who resisted territorial encroachment by the US government. At his father's death 1873, Joseph assumed the title of chief and was originally an advocate of passive resistance.
