Chief Joseph chose to lead the Nez Perce to Canada rather than confront the U.S. Army due to a desire to protect his people from further bloodshed and suffering. He believed that fleeing to Canada would offer them a chance for safety and freedom, as they sought to escape forced removal from their ancestral lands. Fighting would likely result in heavy casualties and a devastating loss for his tribe, and he hoped to find refuge with other indigenous groups in Canada. Ultimately, his decision reflected a strategic choice to preserve the lives and dignity of his people.

Chief Joseph was a Nez Perce Indian chief. In 1877, he led his tribe on its famous thousand mile retreat through Idaho, Washington, and Montana (in an attempt to reach Canada) after he realized he could not defeat the United States Army, which was forcing the tribe off of its lands. When he finally surrendered, he said, "I will fight no more forever."

Yes, Chief Joseph led his people, the Nez Perce tribe, in an unsuccessful attempt to flee to Canada in 1877 to avoid being forced onto a reservation. They traveled over 1,000 miles but were stopped just short of reaching the border by U.S. forces. Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce were then captured and taken to a reservation in Kansas.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe tried to lead his people to Canada for safety. They were just forty miles from the Canadian Village when they were captured by the Army. Despondent and worried about his people he made the famous surrender speech. The last line of it is actually "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever"
