Answer:

hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

10 Who was Chief Joseph?

B. a Nez Percé chief who said, “From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever”

Well the Chief Joseph was a leader of the Wallowa band of the Nez Perce Tribe, who became famous in 1877 for leading his people on an epic flight across the Rocky Mountains. He was born in 1840.

Joseph and his tribe were taken to a reserve in Indian territory in Oklahoma, where they remained until 1885 when they were sent to the Colville reservation in north central Washington.

Joseph made several visits to Washington, D.C., to request a return to the country of Wallowa, but his pleas were in vain.

Joseph died in 1904 in Nespelem, Washington. His grave remains in Nespelem today.
