The correct answer is B) He wanted to prevent being placed onto a reservation.

Chief Joseph attempted to lead his followers into Canada in 1877 because he wanted to prevent being placed onto a reservation.

Chief Joseph(1840-1904), was a Nez Perce Indian warrior from the Oregon Territory. In 1887, he opposed moving his tribe to a reservation as demanded by the United States government. Finally, he reluctantly agreed. But there was this incident where white settlers died and the tribe was blamed. What Chief Joseph did was to lead his people to Canada. But close to the Canada border he surrendered to the Army. After this Nez Perce tribe were sent to prison in Kansas but shortly after they were moved to a reservation.
