Chief Joseph and his people made boats from sticks and dried animal skins to cross the river. While the Indians were busy, a group of white men came and stole some of the cattle waiting at the edge of the river.

　 The other chiefs demanded that Joseph call a meeting. Two of the chiefs. White Bird and Toohoolhoolzote. spoke for War. but Joseph held different opinion.

　 Joseph wanted to Lead the people to safety in the flat lands of Montana. But the UnitedStates army quickly sent horse soldiers to follow them.
