Chief Joseph opposed the requirement for Native Americans to live on reservations, viewing it as restricting their freedom and way of life. He believed in the right of his people to live and move freely on their traditional lands. Despite his resistance, the U.S. government forcibly relocated his tribe to a reservation in present-day Washington state.
Chief Joseph advocated for his people's rights by traveling to Washington, D.C. to speak with President Rutherford B. Hayes about the injustices they faced on the reservation. He also continued to plead for his people's return to their homeland in the Wallowa Valley. Additionally, Chief Joseph worked to improve the conditions on the reservation by promoting education and peaceful coexistence with the U.S. government.
