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.

@@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.

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 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.

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!
