Chief Joseph
-
Treat all men alike. Give them the same law. Give them an even chance to live and grow.
-
All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers.
-
We gave up some of our country to the white men, thinking that then we could have peace. We were mistaken. The white man would not let us alone.
-
If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace.
-
Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.
