Chief Joseph oder Hinmaton-Yalatkit, geboren am 3. März 1840 in Wallowa County, Oregon, USA und verstorben am 21. September 1904 in unbekannt, Washington, USA war der Häuptling der Wal-lam-wat-kain (meist als Wallowa bezeichnet)-Gruppe der Nez-Percé-Indianer aus dem Wallowa-Flusstal im nordöstlichen Oregon. Er machte sich gegen Ende der Indianerkriege während des Nez-Percé-Krieges einen Namen als kluger Taktiker.
In seiner Jugend war er als Young Joseph bekannt, da sein Vater Ta-weet Tu-eka-kas („Oldest Grizzly“ – „Ältester Grizzly“, um 1785–1871) als einer der ersten Nez Percé unter dem gleichen Vornamen getauft worden war und daher oft als Old Chief Joseph (oder Joseph the Elder) bezeichnet wird.

Chief Joseph, Nez Perce, when young , ca. 1871 - ca. 1907.
When settlers reached Oregon Territory in the 1850s, the Nez Perce were both powerful and friendly to the newcomers. Within twenty years, treaties replaced the rich traditional tribal lands with poor reservation land. Some tribal leaders questioned the treaties. Led by Chief Joseph, a band of Nez Perce fought off government troops, nearly escaping to safety in Canada. The Nez Perce were eventually moved to the Colville Reservation, near Walla Walla. Seattle photographer Edward Curtis took this portrait of Nez Perce Chief Joseph a year or so before the chiefs death in 1904. It is said that Chief Joseph died of a broken heart at not being able to return to the traditional lands of his people in Oregon.
