In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand. ”

　　Things were quiet for a while after that，but not for long. When Old Joseph died，the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s，government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1 ,600 miles towards Canada in an attempt to retreat (撤退)north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired ； my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. ”

　　In 1885，chief joseph was sent along with mang of his band to the Colville Reservation in Washington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation
