SummaryThe Nez Perce War is a series of wars that occurred from June, 1877 to September, 1877 between the white settlers and the tribes of the Nez Perces. The Nez Perce lost over fifty of their tribe members during a surprise raid by the white settlers while they were sleeping. This attack led to more battles between the whites and the Indians. The Nez Perce fled from the pursuing U.S. Army in hopes of reaching Canada, but surrendered when met by General Howard and his army forty miles away from the Canadian border. This is when Chief Joseph declared “I Will Fight No More Forever.”
