Who said I'm tired of fighting?
Chief Joseph said "i will fight no more forever."
Surrender speech by Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce.
I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohulhulsote is 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.
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.
What type of fish did the Nez perce and Kwakiutl catch?
The Nez Perce and Kwakiutl tribes primarily caught salmon, which was a staple in their diets and held cultural significance. The Nez Perce, located near rivers in the Pacific Northwest, also fished for trout and sturgeon. The Kwakiutl, residing along the coastal waters of British Columbia, targeted various species, including halibut and herring, in addition to salmon. Both tribes utilized traditional fishing methods that reflected their deep connection to the waterways and the resources they provided.
How could have te nez perce war been avoided?
Any topic that concerns the Amerian Indian Wars (1622-1890) will almost always concern territorial disputes. The whole purpose (the whole reason) behind the Indian Wars (Native American Wars) was the White man (White People) moving onto the Red Man's land (Red People's land). As the Whites moved west, they ended up in conflict with the Red people's territory. The Nez Perce war was no different; same story different tribe: The settlers (Whites) wanted the Red man's land for GRAZING their cattle and of course GOLD was discovered (or at the least the rumor of GOLD was sent out). Same as with the Black Hills in the Dakotas (Gold) brought in the Whites which conflicted with the Red people...culminating into the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 between the Sioux/Cheyenne Nations and the US Army.
Same old story, different time and tribe.

Where did the Nez Perce end up?
The Nez Perce split into two groups in the mid-19th century, with one side accepting coerced relocation to a reservation and the other refusing to give up their fertile land in Washington and Oregon.
On October 5, 1877, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Nation surrendered to units of the U.S. Cavalry near Chinook in the north of what is now Montana. Before this surrender, the Nez Perce fought a cunning strategic retreat toward refuge in Canada from about 2,000 soldiers. This surrender, after fighting 13 battles and going about 1,700 miles toward Canada, marked the last great battle between the U.S. government and an Indian nation.
After surrendering, Chief Joseph stated his famous quote: "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." The flight path is reproduced by the Nez Perce National Historic Trail. The annual Cypress Hills ride in June commemorates the Nez Perce people's crossing into Canada.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/l%20cite_note-12
