How did chief joseph resist the government's attempts to move the nez perce to reservations? `?

He organized his tribe's natives to fight the army in a false retreat to Canada.

Explanation:

The Nez Perce split into two groups in the mid-nineteenth century, with one side accepting the relocation of the tribe within an Indian reservation, and on the other, refusing to leave the fertile lands of Washington and Oregon. Chief Joseph joined the group that refused to move to a reserve and organized an armed fight against the army in a false retreat to Canada. The fight was very disadvantageous to the natives, and on October 5, 1877, Nation Chief Joseph Nez Perce surrendered to a United States cavalry unit near Chinook in the north of what is now Montana. Before surrendering, they fought a false retreat to Canada against 2,000 soldiers.

His surrender, after 13 battles and entering 2740 km into Canada, marked the last major battle between the US government and an indigenous nation. After surrendering, Chief Joseph uttered his famous phrase: "Listen to me, my bosses, I'm tired. My heart is sick and sad. Where the sun is now, I will never fight again." Their path is reproduced on an ecological trail today. The annual ride on Cypress Hill commemorates the Nez Perce crusade for Canada
