- In the summer of 1877 Chief Joseph and the peaceful Nez Perce went to war with the U.S. Government in a running fight that spanned four states and 1,170 miles. Who was Chief Joseph? Why’d Buffalo Bill call him “the greatest Indian ever produced?” And why did the Nez Perce go to war? I’ve been looking forward to this episode for a long time so without further ado, let’s dive into Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce War! #nativeamerican #wildwest #history

I grew up in Idaho. This was a huge part of Idaho history taught in school. Thank you for this one man.
He’s my great great great great uncle 🙌🏽 I’m named after him
I once sat on the bluff that over looked where Chief Joseph and his people were attacked for the last time. It's just south of Chinook, Montana. As I was praying and talking to my deceased grandmother (half Gros Ventre and half Irish) a Golden Eagle flew over the battlefield below then levelled off at my higher level and flew straight toward me, eye level. At about 20 feet it veered upwards and flew away. I know it was a spiritual event. I was always taught that when you're thinking of your ancestors and then you see an eagle, it's a sign that they are listening.
Depressing. And we keep doing the same thing to each other.
@@beorbeorian150 Yes we do. I've been to war and I absolutely know that it is humanity at its absolute worst. In fact, war is evil. As far as Chief Joseph and his tribe goes, I always wondered why they just didn't let them walk the remaining 40 miles to Canada. Seems so vindictive. Unnecessary pain and suffering is evil.
Priceless Experience, and a Priceless Share.
please there's Irish in the mix, (not the Germanic, aka Anglo, Viking, Norman, etc genetics) The post flood original, Basque lineage, I refer to us as "The Other White Folks", the Rh(-) and/or carrier of the (-) Resus Factor.
Keeping in mind our True Self, aka Soul Self, is all energies from the "1 Source" aka God/Creator.
We are all literally, truly, of equal value.
That's a positive feeling.
@@bethbartlett5692 Outstanding! Thank you
So cool that happened to you and thank for sharing. I’ve walked that ground many times over the years and that place is sacred ground. I especially love being there ether all alone or with someone that I love. Have you visited the Blair County Museum or checked what is left of the original Fort Belknap Post just South of the Milk River outside of Chinook? Take care.
My grandfather had a tintype photo of Chief Joseph, it was his favorite possession

Anyone would treasure that ,I would think.
I lived in that country in Elgin Oregon.Grand Rhonde River .Wallowa Lake .Enterprise .Old growth forests.Elk and dear in abundance.Fishing ,hunting paradise.A young mans country .Learning the woods and wildlife .That country was sparsly populated when I lived there.Imbler pop 13.Elgin had a mill.Pop 1275 in the 70s.La Grande had a bigger population with around 30,000 at the most.One winter it got to 33 below zero.
Spent the last two months, driving up and down their traditional territories. And I want you to know, as someone who has seen a large percentage of the United States. From north of Couer D'Alene, all the way down to Boise, is some of beautiful land I've been blessed to gaze upon.
I bet
I’m lucky enough to live here and even luckier to work for the US Forest Service and spend my career in the backcountry.
Thank you so much! I am proud to say I have his blood flowing through my veins. chief Joseph is my great (x3) grandfather. I am related to him through his older sister Sarah (blackeagle family).
Thank YOU for listening!
Amazing restraint shown by Chief Joseph. I will never understand how he did that.
A MAN I admire very much. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
listening all the way from New Zealand!! and can not get enough of your tellings of times gone by..really paint a picture with your stories that even someone who knows nothing of the terrain and area, can shut my eyes and imagine.. totally awesome bro..
Thanks Dan!
Josh, I am exhausted ! This was like a College Course on Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce…..Thank you.
So heartbreaking and devastating. Definitely a story that needs to be heard. Great job with this one
I read this story 20 years ago it is a heartbreaking story of lies and treaties broken .Chief Joseph was the only honorable leader in the story
I've watched this 3 times already and it's the same everytime; a masterpiece. Long time coming but it was definitely well worth it. Now we need that Jim Bridger piece.
Wow, man. I really appreciate that.
I am from the Colville Rez and I was wondering if you know about the sergent Sam Elliott played in "I will fight no more forever" . Well after the fight he asked Cheif Joseph if he could help him. Joseph said he could use a stallion to replenish his herd. He told him he would,but he didnt and on his death bed he told his son to do that for him. His son never did either and told his son . He came here about 20 years ago with a nice stallion .
I can remember back in the '70s there was a made-for-tv movie about this Chief Joseph made many sacrifices for his tribe to survive.
I specifically remember doing several book reports about this in school when I was a young man.
Sadly nobody cares and nobody seems to remember except a few.
I have necklace, a fine piece of beadwork that belonged to Chief Joseph…
It was given to me by his Great Grandson.
It is one of my prized possessions.
I’m 80 now.. one day it will be returned to the “People”…
Thank you for pronouncing the Tribe’s name correctly… many don’t!
I am a descendant of old chief Joseph, chief Joseph is my great great grandmother’s brother. My nez perce last name is Blackeagle. So the same blood of chief Joseph flows threw my veins and I am truly honored. All the men in our family carry’s that same leadership gene as well, it’s crazy. All good men.
The last Indian War in 1870's to second most military casualties after the battle of the little bighorn june, 1876. Until the ghost dance, wounded knee massacre Dec.28 1890 .29 soldiers and nearly 300 Lakota were killed.
In the uk , I love these channels, thanks a million for the upload Josh great work 👍
Thanks big balls!
I had read about the nez perce as a kid. Interesting stories. Love native American culture and the people keeping us informed about American history. The drama and tragedy associated with it. Amazing stuff. Oh and for those not informed "Chief Thunder" aka Hinmatoom from Killer instinct is based on this proud and awesome Tribe.
Love the long episodes. I listen to them with the wife when we drive to the lake, or when we stay in and play Red Dead online.
I can't believe I missed this one when it came out 7 months ago, but then I was in the process of moving to Colorado to start a new job. This is exactly the type of podcast I suggested, more stories about our Native American brothers and sisters. Thank you so much for another great podcast!
Keep doing what you do, it is sincerely appreciated!!!!!
my grandmas great grandma was supposedly a daughter of chief Joseph who was sent across the border from colville, I live right across the the border of Washington on the Canada side
I lived in Lapwai for years. Went to high school there and learned a lot. Such a great people, with great pride and amazing history
Love how you are able to be honest, informative, and funny, all mixed together. And, as said...what happens on the trail, stays on the trail! Another great episode!!
My man
Not only are you a scholar, you're also hilarious. Subscribed.
Too kind! Thanks!
My heart is broken . As I have learned of these story of a young boy born in the panhandle north of pampa Texas. I was told these story from a young boy. By Cherokee, Comanche, Navaho, all tribes of these great people. This has been my great gift. I’m 60’years an have great blessed from the spirit. Thank you for speaking truth
Definitely my favorite episode ever 👊. Great work J
Thanks man
Love your covering of the Wallowa (Wuh-lau-wuh) Oregon (Or-a-gun) Nez Pierce and Chief Joseph. I was born and raised there and always loved it's history.
The French Canadian name for the Nimapu (their name for themselves) was pronounced "Nay Parsay" and they were famed with the creation of the Appaloosa horse 🐎 breed.
That is the french pronunciation but the Nez Perce pronounce it "Nez Purse"
The came out of The Palouse area that's how they got the name Appaloosa
Although rarely will you hear the French pronunciation, even from the tribal members.
Sounds like very little has changed with our federal government
It's a damn fine Sunday when a nice long new episode is waiting. Can't wait to get into this one. Thanks a ton for all your great work Josh!
Thank YOU, Everett!
This was another amazing video!
I relisten to all the episodes so much great stuff!
!Congratulations on the new addition to the family!
Excellent episode, one of many. Thanks for all your work Josh.
Dignity and wisdom personified.
We have so much to learn from people like him, sadly by the time we realise this, it's already too late...
You continually knock it out of the park with your content.
Nobody is doing it better, many thanks!! 👍🇬🇧
Yet still we wait and pray and work and tell our stories. Thank you for that too you do.
Man I have to say that I really love your ability to boil things down to the simplest terms, your delivery style and live your sense of humor!!!
All while covering fantastic pieces of the American history and the people that's extremely interesting to learn more about! Your wit and humor are great, very unique and fun to listen too, I always get a laugh!!! Thanks for your hard work and dedication!!! You deserve your own TV show in my opinion!!!
Too kind, Don! Thank you
It’s great to listen to this, you did a great job. I live in Alberta, west central. I am a descendent of the Nez Perce that made it up here.
Very cool!
Thanks for another great episode
God damn brutally of this country's history is depressing.
*humanity's
I have some beads that have been passed down to me from when my family was chased here. I wear them with pride, that they survived to give me life, and honor that I am taking care of them before I pass them on.
Canada?
@@WildWestExtravaganza Oregon.
I meant here, as in here as described by you. I should’ve placed my words with more care, apologies.
Good video. Thank you for making it.
Oh no, my fault for assuming. Wow, those beads are treasured, I'm sure.
Much love my texas brother. Always enjoy your content and appreciate all the work you put in these for us.
Great job on this subject you have a good voice for storytelling .
Thank you
Wow, I got that Biz Markee joke. I can't believe I'm not the only one who saw those commercials!
I live in Oklahoma, and according to the stories of my family I have Nimipuu ancestry. What I do know is that a picture of Chief Joseph has been hanging in my family’s home for as long as I can remember.
Fascinating tale, told with the quirky trademark humour. Great stuff.
Keep it up Josh! I hope that you get a show someday, love the way you tell these stories.
Thanks!
I can remember some odd tidbits of the Nez Perce tribe. They numbered around 6-7000 in 1850-1855. They were divided down the middle as to treaty and nontreaty followers. The pro-treaty faction of the tribe was pretty much settled into reservation life by the 1860s the nontreaty faction preferred to live in the traditional way. Chief Joseph's band in this case lived in the Wallowa Valley of
Oregon. The tribe had the ownership and run (Right-of-Way) of 7.5 million acres and the right to hunt lands ceded to the US government according to the Walla Walla treaty of 1855. The US government reneged on the 1855 treaty in principle by forcing the Nez Perce back to the negotiations for a new treaty to take away 80% of the land of the reservation in 1863 by the terms of the treaty of that year.
The Movie I WILL FIGHT NO MORE FOREVER was a huge part of my childhood. I would watch it a couple times a week at 8 yrs old. If you haven’t seen it definitely watch it❤
29:00 My namesake. Thank you for the video. I'm proud to be named after him
Very cool! Thanks for listening
Wallowa Valley was incredable.Wallowa Lake .Grande Rhonde River.Elgin,Oregon.I grew up there and it was paradise.
I live near Quapaw. I ran with a Nez Perc, Chuck Wapipa. Great guy.
Love the Narration...Great subject....
Nez Perce’ -Beautiful people! One of the the Greatest and noble First Nations Tribes.
Been looking forward to this video. I know alot of work went into it. I'm definitely going to order that book from Amazon. I remember first learning of Chief Joseph in elementary school when I watched the movie I Will Fight No More Forever. Keep up the great work with these videos.
I wish they could remake that movie.
@@henrythompson5224 yeah me too
Best thing Ive ever heard
I’m so grateful for these and appreciated you for sharing your craftsmanship
Loved this. You're a man of truth and stamina. Was like listening to a movie I didn't have to watch but not a book reading.
Thanks!
Dude that was awesome! After smoking a fat one (I live in Oregon) I saw this play out like a movie while I was listening. Time well spent 🎩😊👍
Heck yeah
Great reading n your side remarks are funny n informative
Wow what a story. Thanks for the episode!
Thanks for listening!
No one was better at small unit tactics in American History
Great episode!
This is the second video of yours I have listened too and have to say it will NOT be the last! THANK YOU!
Many thanks!
My favourite Native American
Josh, I’d love to see you do one on Olive Oatman someday. There aren’t a lot of women in history I find the least bit interesting, but her life definitely was. Just an idea because you make history so much more fun to learn about.
She's on the list
@@WildWestExtravaganza, Yay! You’re amazing!! 💜
@@WildWestExtravaganza, Yay! You’re amazing!! 💜
You mentioned that there wasn't very many women in history and that you make history. Why do you think there isn't really many women in history lady
Great stuff! Dang. I think the only thing I new was the brief history from school.
How can I
Explain,what I would like to say about all this,I don't have enough words....I wish you were my history teacher! But in way I guess you are. I've never commented on anything I've watched or listened to but this!!! Great job!
Thanks Steve!
You did such a beautiful job with this. Thank you.
✌️💓😊
thank you Josh for this podcast. I enjoyed listening to it very much . Will go on to some of your other stories... Sure would like to see a picture of you?!?!?!?
I'm shy
I read the book thunder rolling in the mountains its a great book i highly recommended it and reading the book really helped me understand this video i love this kind of stuff 😊
Thanks! I'll check it out
Binged all your tales the last few weeks. You have a gift of gab on par with the best. I can see you easily besting a lot of other story tellers if you endeavor to persevere.
Much appreciated!
What a gut wrenching story.
Watching from the land of the great Osage. I grew up in Tonkawa and fished those rivers for years. Glad your mentioned them. Thanks Ubeensnakebit
Was. Not. The. Store l was. Told. In school thanks for your help j. T. Bear
Huh?
I live in the bitterroot valley, in stevensville. Lots of history in the area, thanks for this!
Very cool! Thank you
Native tribes: "We the people" US Govt: "Yeah, about that..."
Exactly
Nice of Danny McBride to take the time to narrate this
It was my pleasure
Great job telling this story it was my favorite one when I was a kid,,, with alot more facts than the movie I watched in the 70s.. I will fight no more Forever..
I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. Good stuff dude!!
I'm glad you did too!!!
Great job. Please do a video of Tecumseh from the Shawnee !
Noted!
You also have to remember that the Nez Perce were scouts for the US military from the times of Lewis and Clark along with the cayuse and the toolhoolhoolzote was Joseph and ollokot's brother.
That was extra good. Jackson Sundown next?
Lot of unverified additions never heard before Josh makes.
no one's is probably gonna believe this but chief joseph is actually my great great great great (that's 4 greats.) grandfather.
I believe you, bro
@@WildWestExtravaganza Thank you, i thought no one would take me serious.
If that’s the case we fam, I’m related to him through his older sister Sarah.. Sarah married black eagle.. so I come from that side of the family.
If it’s true that’s so cool I reading a book in school for wit and wisdom it’s called thunder of the rolling mountains and it’s the new perce war makes me cry bc so many people died😢😢
☝️☝️☝️ BE VERY PROUD OF IT !!! ✊✊✊
I hunt close to the nez Perce winter camp a lot of history I am lucky to live in this area so much history. For the first time I’ve felt bad for the Indians.
I'd love to hunt that area
@@WildWestExtravaganza it’s amazing in the hells canyon wilderness areas peaks range from 7k feet to 4,500 at the town of immiaha which I have been told means winter camp. The part of eastern Oregon I live in had tribes all over it I am really lucky actually I guess you don’t realize it when you grow up around it
Lotta history and lotta beauty out there!
Taking on Mr. T, while he’s got a stone-reinforced fighting position!? I pity the fools! (Ba da bump) I have read several books about Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce, way back while getting my degree in early American history-with my focus being on America’s late expansionist period, after the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition-and I don’t think there was a more heroic and noble leader than Joseph. Perhaps only Tecumseh, who died almost 25 years before Chief Joseph was born, can be considered as brilliant a tactician, as honorable a man, as fearless a fighter, and yet as humane and desirous of peace as a prophet. Great video Josh. 👍🏼 Very well done!
Thanks for interesting and informative podcast.
Thanks for listening
@@WildWestExtravaganza pleasure, first of many 👍.
Grew up in Kamiah. Learned about this guy and the tribe in school. Pretty neat.
What a amazing story might be your best Colonel
ALWAYS . ON
THE AMERICAN INDIANs side.
ALL CHIEF JOSEPH
ASKED FOR..IN THE END ....
.WAS TO BE BURIED W HIS PEOPLE's. BONES... And Chief Jiseph WAS denied. Died of a broken heart ❤❤❤❤ .
The telegraph and the railroad were profound advantages.
I am glad to see O.O. Howard finally had somebody he could beat (sic), mostly because the enemy largely were old people, women and children. Howard's great skill is on display in the movie, "Gods and Generals," where hid neglect of his flank with Stonewall roaming around directly caused the Confederate victory. He tried like heck to do the same thing on Day 11 at Gettysburg, and it took Hancock to save the day. He was a 24-hour-a-day Christian who passed out religious pamphlets to his corps of German freethinker socialists who fled Europe after 1848, and held the church in low esteem. Not by far the most impressive Union general.
Nelson Miles was, in short, a ruthless, nakedly ambitious SOB. He fought with merit in the War of Northern Aggression, but really stacked up brownie points by treating Jefferson Davis like a cur dog in prison at Fortress Monroe. "Ruthless" also described his approach to Indian fighting. He was a publicity whore who put Custer to shame. He did realize his goal of commanding the US Army. This campaign was a huge feather in his bonnet.
I love this channel
Many thanks
The mountains on the east part of central Idaho separating us from MT are the Bitterroot Mountains and it’s not the continental divide. The continental divide goes through Butte, MT. Just wanted to clarify. Other than that, good job and thank you.
Thanks! Great work
Woah, thank you!
I don't understand why coffee is always lumped in with necessary supplies. I like coffee too but it always is added among supply lists that are the bare necessities. It was a legal requirement to provide coffee to both passengers and crew of ranks and social stratum aboard British passenger and cargo ships during this period of history.
Good words. Remember his saying when you hear politicians speak. They still break treaties. All of them, in some form or fashion.
All that is worth knowing of Joseph is in one book that I recently finished reading. "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more, forever"
You sure that's all there is worth knowing?
@@WildWestExtravaganza Depends if you've actually read the book. About what was likely a rough equivalent of the "Trail of Tears" and how Chiefs from other bands had to contend with his Father's Legacy vs how many decisions the Younger Joseph made that would literally make anyone of any stripe question who or what they were following along with.
That was an awesome podcast to listen to. I enjoy your colorful delivery of the stories it is entertaining and very informative.
Josh ,900 hundred settlers and puppies you got me, I thought I never heard of that , now I feel like a GOBSHITE. Great episode ,you do these very well . Brilliant and fuck ye 🤣🤣🤣 peace 🇮🇪
Haha
I’m did this same project when I was 12 years old. The story of I’ll fight no more forever but me back then like no other story I’d ever read. I couldn’t search enough info out like today, but I still had some great historical novels in my elementary school.
Speaking of Yellowstone I recently found out that the first superintendent of yellowstone park was a guy that shared my last name. He wrote a few books to about that time period. I've got one now about his time as a Montana vigilante. Very interesting I'd like to try and find out if we are related some how.
