The Nez Perce Tribe marked a century since Chief Joseph’s surrender after a 1000 mile trek. Richard Halfmoon, former chair, recalls the bitter legacy and asks why the tribe faced forced removal. The war centered on ancestral lands now in Oregon’s Wallowa Valley and ended with the 1877 surrender near the Canada border.
