Chief Joseph (and a few it was just addded to)

• Support – Detailed capture of Chief Joseph, probably showing his features better than some other period pics, such as this one (featured in Battle of the Clearwater). Now leads target bio infobox. A hero to Native Americans. – Sca (talk) 14:45, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Aye. Think the 1874 pic has some justification for the events in 1874. The old lead image, though, was a photograph of a drawing - or at minimum, a photo so extremely retouched by Victorians to be indistinguishable from one

• Support. I would side with Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political; Joseph led his people for decades before and after the war. blameless 03:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
