	Chief Joseph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chief Joseph (1840–September 21, 1904) was the chief of the Wal-lam-wat-kain (Wallowa) band of Nez Perce Indians during General Oliver O. Howard's attempt to forcibly remove his band and the other "non-treaty" Indians to a reservation in Idaho.
		Finally, in 1885, Chief Joseph and his followers were allowed to return to the Pacific Northwest, although many, including Chief Joseph, were taken to the Colville Indian Reservation, far from both the rest of their people in Idaho and their homeland in the Wallowa Valley.
		Chief Joseph died in September of 1904 and was buried in Nespelem, Washington the site where many of his tribe's members still live.
