Description: Hidden in the shadow cast by the great western expeditions of ì Lewis and Clark lies another journey every bit as poignant, every ì bit as dramatic, and every bit as essential to an understanding ì of who we are as a nation -- the 1,800-mile journey made by Chief ì Joseph and eight hundred Nez Perce men, women, and children from ì their homelands in what is now eastern Oregon through the most ì difficult, mountainous country in western America to the high, ì wintry plains of Montana. There, only forty miles from the ì Canadian border and freedom, Chief Joseph, convinced that the ì wounded and elders could go no farther, walked across the snowy ì battlefield, handed his rifle to the U.S. military commander who ì had been pursuing them, and spoke his now-famous words, "From ì where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
