Summary

Chief Joseph was a leader of the Nez Perce people in the Pacific Northwest. When the U.S. government forced his tribe from their homeland, he tried to lead his people to safety in Canada. For months, they traveled hundreds of miles, chased by the U.S. Army. Exhausted and outnumbered, Chief Joseph finally surrendered in 1877, saying the famous words, “I will fight no more forever.” His bravery, leadership, and compassion made him one of the most respected Native American figures in history. 👉 Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App 👉 Head to ⁠MarleySpoon.com/offer/bedtimehistory⁠ for up to 25 FREE meals! 📖 We published our first book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎉 Check out our new show, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bedtime Safari⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate via Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a shout-out! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📺⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠500+ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Videos⁠
