CHIEF JOSEPH - MY HERO

Faith worked a on huge research paper in January. Each student had to decide on a person to spotlight that was involved in Idaho history. There was a list of about 50 people. Faith really wanted to do Sacajewia. When we went to the library, her books were already checked out, so Faith decided on Chief Joseph. Together, we research through 5 books and about a dozen different online sources to complete her full paper. It was definitely a challenge!

Chief Joseph

Do you have a hero you cheered for? A hero to me is a person with great courage and strength of the heart. In the summer of 1877, newspaper readers found themselves cheering for a hero just like this. His name was Chief Joseph.

Faith tells about him from his childhood, to when he faced insurmountable odds, ending just 40 miles from the Canadian border. She enjoyed writing this paper and learning so much about this hero in American and Idaho history.


I was very proud that she was able to do this poster all by herself and the bulk of the paper. I helped proofread it and give her suggestions. But the end result was all her. Congrats Faith!!!
