(pÄnsâ²nÄâ², pÄ­nsâ²-) n. pl. pince-nez (-nÄzâ², -nÄâ²) Eyeglasses that are worn on the bridge of the nose without supports that go over the ears. [French : pincer, to pinch (from Old French pincier; see pinch) + nez, nose (from Latin nÄsus; see nas- in the Appendix of Indo-European roots).]
Joseph was chief of the Nez Perce, a Native American tribe of the Wallowa Valley in Northwest Oregon. In 1877 the Nez Pierce were ordered to a reservation, or special land reserved for Native Americans. The Nez Pierce refused to go. Instead, Chief Joseph tried to lead 800 of his people to Canada. Fighting the U.S. Army all along their 1100 mile journey, they crossed Idaho and Montana. They were trapped just forty miles from Canada. After a five-day fight, the remaining 431 remaining Nez Perce were beaten.
