2. How did Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce react when he became aware that the United States Army would retaliate for the death of four white settlers?

He prepared his people to leave their reservation and flee the United States Army.

He negotiated with other tribes to create a unified force and attack the United States Army.

He renegotiated the Nez Perce treaty with the United States, giving up more tribal land.

He and his people in built a fort and waited for the United States Army to attack.

He prepared his people to leave their reservation and flee the United States Army.

Chief Joseph was aware that his small tribe would not be able to withstand the force of the United States Army.

Joseph decided that it was best for the Nez Perce tribe to travel towards Canada and seek refuge with the Sioux tribe that was led by Sitting Bull.
