Chief Joseph (Hinmatóowyalahtqʼit)
1840 CE–1904 CE · Wallowa (Nez Perce)
Hinmatoowyalahtqit, known as Chief Joseph, was a leader of the Wallowa band of the Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) in the Pacific Northwest. In 1877, resisting forced removal to a reservation, he and other leaders guided several hundred people on a fighting retreat of some 1,500 miles toward Canada. Trapped in the Bear Paw Mountains of Montana, he surrendered with a speech often quoted for the words 'I will fight no more forever.' He spent his remaining years in exile from the Wallowa Valley and died in 1904.
