Fight No More
Chief Joseph (approx. 1840–1904)
Chief Joseph was the leader of a group of
Native Americans called the Nez Perce. In
the 1870s the United States government
told Chief Joseph to move his people away
from their homeland so white settlers could
have the land. Chief Joseph said they would
not leave. In 1877 a war broke out after
warriors killed some of the settlers.
Chief Joseph knew he had to find safety
for his people, so he led them away from
United States troops.
