Chief Joseph

Chief joseph is a chief who led his people 1200 miles to freedom but got caught at the border.

Chief Joseph is most famous for his principled resistance to the forced removal of his tribe, of Nez Perce native Americans, to a reservation in Idaho. As a result of his stance, he became widely renowned and famous as a peacemaker and as a humanitarian.

The mayor of that time opened up the Wallowa Valley to white settlement, and decided that the roaming Nez Perce band move onto reservations immediately. When 3-4 braves when out to avenge a father's death, Chief Joseph allowed it. As he prepared for war he met in discussion with Oliver O. Howard, but still the message he received was the same, move to the reservation lands. As Chief Joseph was rushed across the river with little notice, he had to leave many horses and cattle behind, and many died in the crossing of the river for it had swelled past the banks and was a bad crossing season. At the other edge of the river they stopped to rest before moving on, when confronted by troops, they fought, and then withdrew and began their flee to Canada. His people were captured for standing up against the white settlers, and for refusing to follow the unfair laws, it was also to be an example for the other Native American tribes they were moving to reservation lands.

Nez Perce

In 1877 Chief Joseph and his tribe were oredered to move to a reservation. Four of Chief Joseph's braves killed 16 white settlers and when the army began to take their possesions as retaliation, the Nez Perce refused to move to the reservation due to this contract breach. The only real choice they had was to try to get to Canada and enlist the aid of Chief Sitting Bull. After 1300 miles, 4 battles, and a brilliant display of bravery in which Toohoolhoolzote's(not a joke) 25 men pinned down Howard's 500, the Nez Perce were captured and defeated at Bear Paw Mountain. When surrendering Chief Joseph coined a famous quote "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more."

BusinessWeek called Johnson the most powerful woman in U.S. finance and as 25.4 percent owner of Fidelity one of the richest women in the world, with an estimated net worth of $10 billion.

Resistance was hoopeless Resistance was simply too impossibly hopeless for them.
