Chief Joseph was part of the tribe Nez Perce in Wallowa Valley in Northwest Oregon
This is the speech he said
I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohulhulsoteis dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led the young men is dead.
It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are--perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead.

Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indian Tribe.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce. What he actually said was, "I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more, forever."
I believe it's misquoted....its "where the sun now stands"....and it was "Chief Joseph"of the "Nez Perce"?...I could be wrong lol
The phrase "For today, I will fight no more forever" is attributed to Chief Joseph, a leader of the Nez Perce tribe. He delivered this poignant statement during his surrender speech in 1877 after a long and challenging conflict with the United States government. This moment marked the end of the Nez Perce War, highlighting Chief Joseph's deep sorrow and the struggle of his people.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe tried to lead his people to Canada for safety. They were just forty miles from the Canadian Village when they were captured by the Army. Despondent and worried about his people he made the famous surrender speech. The last line of it is actually "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever"

Chief Joseph's famous quote is "I will fight no more forever," which he said in his surrender speech in 1877 after years of resisting the U.S. government's efforts to relocate his Nez Perce tribe. The quote reflects his commitment to peace and his decision to stop fighting against overwhelming odds.
Chief Joseph is most famous for his principled resistance to the forced removal of his tribe, of Nez Perce native Americans, to a reservation in Idaho. As a result of his stance, he became widely renowned and famous as a peacemaker and as a humanitarian.
one of them could be by chief Joseph who said we will fight no more forever.

Chief Joseph was a Nez Perce Indian chief. In 1877, he led his tribe on its famous thousand mile retreat through Idaho, Washington, and Montana (in an attempt to reach Canada) after he realized he could not defeat the United States Army, which was forcing the tribe off of its lands. When he finally surrendered, he said, "I will fight no more forever."
