Chief Joseph
Chief Joseph was born in 1840 in Wallowa Valley, Oregon Territory. He grew up to be the leader of the Nez Perce Tribe. When the United States attempted to force his tribe to leave, he unwillingly agreed, which began the journey known as the Trail of Tears. Tensions erupted and the Nez Perce War broke out. He is famous for his surrender speech, that was well thought out and brilliantly spoken.
