介绍（中）	约瑟夫酋长（1840–1904）因在1870年代与美国政府的定居点争端中对内兹珀斯人的威严领导而受到称赞。他拒绝搬迁到爱达荷州的指定保留地，这引起了许多美国人的同情，尤其是在1877年10月，他被迫向美国军队投降后，当时他与大约750名部落成员一起撤退，距离在加拿大获得自由仅数英里。在俄克拉何马州流亡多年后，约瑟夫最终定居在华盛顿州北部的科尔维尔保留地。他的名人使欧美艺术家和广告商以无数形式再现了他广为人知的肖像。约瑟夫酋长批准了他的形象的大众传播，以引起人们对内兹珀斯人悲惨困境的关注华纳的赞助人查尔斯·厄斯金·斯科特·伍德（Charles Erskine Scott Wood）于1877年首次见到约瑟夫酋长，并于1889年安排他为这位雕塑家拍照。两人当时都在俄勒冈州波特兰市，约瑟夫倡导内兹珀斯人的权利，华纳完成肖像委托。这位雕刻师忠实地描绘了约瑟夫：他令人印象深刻的轮廓，以高浮雕呈现，具有敏锐的眼睛和松散的肌肉，捕捉到了光影的微妙之处。保姆的名字出现在英语和内兹珀斯语Nimiputímt的垂直铭文中，翻译为雷霆前往更高的地区。
介绍（英）	Chief Joseph (1840–1904) was hailed for his dignified leadership of the Nez Perce during settlement disputes with the U.S. government in the 1870s. His resistance to relocation to designated reservation land in Idaho inspired sympathy from many Americans, especially after his forced surrender to U.S. troops in October 1877, just miles from reaching freedom in Canada, while retreating with some 750 tribal members. Following years of exile in Oklahoma, Joseph eventually settled on the Colville Reservation in northern Washington State. His celebrity led Euro-American artists and advertisers to reproduce his well-known likeness in countless forms. Chief Joseph sanctioned the popular dissemination of his image to draw attention to the tragic plight of the Nez Perce people. Warner’s patron Charles Erskine Scott Wood, who first met Chief Joseph in 1877, arranged for him to pose for the sculptor in 1889. Both were in Portland, Oregon at the time—Joseph to advocate for Nez Perce rights, and Warner to complete portrait commissions. The sculptor represented Joseph faithfully: his impressive profile, rendered in high relief, features alert eyes and loose flesh that captures subtleties of light and shadow. The sitter’s given name appears in a vertical inscription in both English and Nimipuutímt, the Nez Perce language, translated as Thunder Traveling to Higher Areas.
