Chief Joseph was born March 3, 1840 and died September 21, 1904. He was the chief of the Wallowa band of Nez Perce Indians. General Oliver O. Howard attempted to forcibly remove the tribe and other "non-treaty" Indians to a reservation in Idaho. For Chief Joseph's principled resistance to the removal, he became well-known as a peacemaker and humanitarian.
