am tired of fighting . . . 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 was referring to the forced relocation of the Nez Perce tribe from their ancestral lands in the Pacific Northwest to a reservation in Idaho in 1877.
