Description
Chief Joseph Guardian of the People by Candy Moulton is a powerful portrait of the Nez Percé diplomat and defender who led his people in a desperate fight to preserve their homeland. In 1863, he signed a treaty that would ultimately lead to the forced relocation of his tribe from Oregon's Wallowa Valley to an Idaho reservation. Joseph's leadership was tested when the US army forcibly removed the Nez Percé from their lands in 1877, prompting a 1,500-mile journey across Montana, Yellowstone National Park and Wyoming towards safety in Canada. Despite facing numerous attacks by the Army, Joseph's people persevered, only to be captured and forced into surrender at the Bear's Paw Mountains. The consequences of this event would have far-reaching impacts on the Nez Percé tribe. This book tells the story of Chief Joseph's remarkable life, from his early days as a leader among his people to his later efforts to secure better conditions for his tribe and their right to return home.
