Idaho
Day One

Hello, my name is Joseph! Welcome to my state of Idaho! I love living here in the Pacific Northwest. My state has an amazing history, and I can’t wait to share part of it with you!

I know we’re going to get to see and do all sorts of amazing things on this trip! First, let me tell you about my name. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard the name Joseph before, but have you ever heard of Chief Joseph? He was a Nez Percé chief who is remembered as a very brave and wise man.

Back in 1877, he led his people in an attempt to escape the U.S. military, who was forcing them to move to a reservation. For over three months, Chief Joseph and his people eluded the military. And, all through that time, Chief Joseph earned a good reputation for the kind way he treated people, including the ranchers and storekeepers he met on his way. Instead of raiding for the supplies he needed, he bought them! But, eventually, the military surrounded Chief Joseph and his people. Chief Joseph surrendered, saying, “Hear me, my chiefs; my heart is sick and sad. From where the Sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” Chief Joseph and his people were sent to a reservation and never allowed to return to their homeland.

So, welcome to Idaho, the land of the Nez Percé and Chief Joseph. Welcome to the land of appaloosa horses (they are said to have first been bred here) and the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Welcome to the “gem of the mountains,” Idaho, my state!

Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the Spalding Mission Site in 1838! Hope you’re ready for a wonderful adventure!
