The native land of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce is primarily located in what is now northeastern Oregon, as well as parts of Washington and Idaho. This area encompasses the traditional territories of the Nez Perce tribe, which are rich in natural resources and cultural significance. Today, the Nez Perce Reservation is situated in north-central Idaho, recognizing their historical presence and sovereignty in the region.
Chief Joseph was chief of the Wal-lam-wat-kain (Wallowa) band of Nez Perce. The Nez Perce lived in what is now Idaho, not in New York State.
No, the Nez Perce people are not extinct. They are a Native American tribe originally from the Pacific Northwest, particularly in what is now Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Today, there is a federally recognized Nez Perce Tribe, which continues to preserve their culture, language, and traditions. The tribe actively engages in community and cultural revitalization efforts.
The Shahaptin or Nez Perce people were a powerful Plateau tribe residing in many small bands on the borders of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Fur traders frequently travelled in the area, so there were many opportunities to trade for cloth, metal weapons and other goods, glass beads, ribbon, guns, mirrors and many other items. The Nez Perce were closely related to the Wanapums, Cayuses, Umatillas, Palouses, Klickitats, Yakimas and Walla Wallas, with whom they traded for furs and horses - particularly the much prized Appaloosas which were used for warfare.
The Nez Perce split into two groups in the mid-19th century, with one side accepting coerced relocation to a reservation and the other refusing to give up their fertile land in Washington and Oregon.On October 5, 1877, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Nation surrendered to units of the U.S. Cavalry near Chinook in the north of what is now Montana. Before this surrender, the Nez Perce fought a cunning strategic retreat toward refuge in Canada from about 2,000 soldiers. This surrender, after fighting 13 battles and going about 1,700 miles toward Canada, marked the last great battle between the U.S. government and an Indian nation.After surrendering, Chief Joseph stated his famous quote: "Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." The flight path is reproduced by the Nez Perce National Historic Trail. The annual Cypress Hills ride in June commemorates the Nez Perce people's crossing into Canada.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/l%20cite_note-12
