Your support MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Chief Joseph Foundation
Established in 1991, CJF empowers local youth in the region through activities and education related to the Tribe’s most culturally significant animal: the Appaloosa horse. This beautiful spotted horse was a central part of the Tribe’s history, and these days, it’s once again becoming a cherished animal to many youth in the Nez Perce and surrounding communities.
