No. Only the Wallowa band of the Nez Perce was sent to Oklahoma and Kansas
and finally to Washington state. The Idaho bands are still on the Nez Perce 
Reservation in Idaho.

To this day Chief Joseph the younger is still buried in Washington.
The one that's near Enterprise is that of his father Chief Joseph the elder.
