Chief Joseph Cemetery

Just south out of Joseph, Oregon, is the Chief Joseph Gravesite where Old Chief Joseph, father to the more famous Chief Joseph, is buried. The gravestone in this picture is for his wife or daughter. A few miles farther along the pretty road you come to Wallowa Lake where we spent time relishing our good luck at having a perfect summery day. We wandered around and I even got some sketching in.
But it is sobering: we enjoy a place taken forcibly from others there first.
