Chief Joseph Surrender

The surrender of Chief Joseph was motivated by the need to have the people around him secure and protect them from the consequences of a never-ending war. Joseph had a realization due to the rage of a group of Nez Percé men, who had lost their homeland and the killing of some white settlers living in the Salmon River area (Konoki, 2017). Therefore, chief Joseph post-surrender goals are anchored on the need of providing their people safety which will be achieved by having a peaceful coexistence with the people they share ordinary jurisdiction. The aim correlates to the traditional American dream of making the nation safe to the Americans by engaging in diplomatic actions to ensure the government protects its people at all costs.
