Chief Joseph, known for his commitment to Native American rights and autonomy, may have had mixed feelings about the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. While the act aimed to reverse some assimilation policies and restore self-governance to tribes, it also imposed federal oversight and control over tribal affairs. Chief Joseph might have appreciated the recognition of tribal sovereignty but likely would have been wary of the limitations it placed on true self-determination. Ultimately, his vision for Native American independence might not have fully aligned with the act's framework.
