Title
English: Chief Joseph, Nez Perce, ca. 1903
Description
English: When settlers reached Oregon Territory in the 1850s, the Nez Perce were both powerful and friendly to the newcomers. Within twenty years, treaties replaced the rich traditional tribal lands with poor reservation land. Some tribal leaders questioned the treaties. Led by Chief Joseph, a band of Nez Perce fought off government troops, nearly escaping to safety in Canada. The Nez Perce were eventually moved to the Colville Reservation, near Walla Walla.

Seattle photographer Edward Curtis took this portrait of Nez Perce Chief Joseph a year or so before the chief's death in 1904. It is said that Chief Joseph died of a broken heart at not being able to return to the traditional lands of his people in Oregon.
