Chief Joseph's Surrender Speech, October 5, 1877
by Chief Joseph
Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am
tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead.
The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on 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 of them 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.
