__ **// The Nez Perce Retreat //** __ ** What do you believe were the causes of the conflict? ** I believe that the conflict was caused by the greed of the settlers. The fact that the young Nez Perce warriors attacked and killed the settlers was also very important. If either one did not occur, the conflict could have easily been avoided. Another, less important cause was the Idaho Nez Perce Chief Lawyer signing off lands that were not legally his. **What is the relevant background information (i.e. who, what, when, where)?** The people involved in the conflict were Chief Joseph, chief of the Nez Perce, Chief Lawyer, another Nez Perce Chief, Looking Glass and Joseph's brother masterminded the military aspects of the retreat, and finally all the Nez Perce and the greedy settlers who wanted the Nez Perce gold. First, Chief Lawyer sold off the Idaho Nez Perce lands. **ics, economics, geography, history)?** **Explain why one factor is more important than the others.**  **How could the conflict have been avoided?**
