Chief Joseph

I read a bout Chief Joseph . I wanted  to learn a bout Native Americans , my friend told me a bout Chief Joseph.  He born in March 3, 1840 in Wallowa Valley ,Oregon  .He grew up close friends with his brother Ollokot. He learned how to ride horses, hunt, and fish at a young age.When Joseph was just a young boy, settlers from the United States began to move into the land of the Nez Perce.In 1871, Joseph the Elder died and Young Joseph became chief. Before his father died, Joseph promised his father that he would not sell the land of the Wallowa Valley. 
Chief Joseph is famous for the speech he gave when he surrendered.Chief Joseph spent the rest of his life fighting peacefully for the rights of his people.He hoped that one day the freedom of the United States would also apply to Native Americans and his people. He died September 21, 1904 at the Colville Indian Reservation, Washington.
