Chief Joseph is also well known for the
following statement during his surrender:
"I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs
are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohoolhoolzote is dead. The old men are all
dead. It is the young men who say, "Yes" or "No." He who led
the young men [Olikut] 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."
