In 1877, the U.S. government ordered members of the Nez Percé Nation to move off their lands in western Oregon onto a reservation in Idaho. Instead, about 800 Nez Percés tried to escape to Canada. This group included Hin-mah-too-yah-latkekt, more commonly known as Chief Joseph. The Nez Percé traveled over 1,500 miles of mountainous terrain in their attempt to escape. They fought many battles with pursuing U.S. troops, only to be halted just 40 miles from the safety of the Canadian border. On October 5, the exhausted survivors surrendered. Chief Joseph’s speech has become a famous symbol of the resistance and conquest of Native Americans in the West. (Pearson Online Classroom)QuestionWhich statement best reflects what is shown by the map and passage above?(1 point)ResponsesChief Joseph's group travelled over 1,000 miles and spent several months trying to avoid capture and relocation by US Army forces.Chief Joseph's group travelled over 1,000 miles and spent several months trying to avoid capture and relocation by US Army forces.Chief Joseph's group did not attempt to resist capture and relocation by US Army forces.Chief Joseph's group did not attempt to resist capture and relocation by US Army forces.
