The Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of theUnited States. At the time of the
Lewis and Clark expedition (探险队) , which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to
the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土) covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of
Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Butthat was a brief sweet history.
In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off theRockieson their westward journey, the entire
exploring party was hungry and ill -- too weak to defend themselves.
Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there
on the banks ofClearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them
until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But
white men’s greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.
In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens ofWashingtonTerritoryinvited 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
theWallowaValleyand then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had
fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards 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 manyof his band to the Colville Reservation inWashingtonwhere
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.(保留地，居留地)
