Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe is remembered for his strength, wisdom, and heartbreaking surrender. In 1877, after being forced from his homeland, Joseph led his people on a 1,400-mile flight toward Canada, outmaneuvering U.S. troops again and again. But exhausted and outnumbered, he surrendered near the border, declaring, “I will fight no more forever.” His words became a symbol of the struggles Native Americans faced during westward expansion. Discover the story of this remarkable leader and his lasting legacy.
