Nez Perce
On October 5, 1877 Chief Joseph surrendered to the US Calvary near Chinook, now Montana. His tribe had battled 2000 soldiers. He is quoted as saying "Here me my chiefs, I am tired my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more." This is a monument to that event, located in Dead Indian Pass.

It is a terrible thing that was done to the native Americans....
I agree with Rambling Woods and I'm glad you shared this wonderful scenic monument and quote here today. May we never forget ...
Hugs and blessings,
