I WILL FIGHT NO MORE FOREVER
Violent incidents occur between white settlers and the Nez Perce in the Wallowa Valley. On May 14, 1877 [7:40 to 23:02] at a council between Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce and Gen. Oliver Howard, the Nez Perce are given an ultimatum: leave the valley and move to a reservation or the army will move you. Chief Joseph advises moving to the reservation, but young warriors kill some settlers. At a second meeting between n Joseph and the army, settlers open fire at a flag of truce and the war begins. The Nez Perce flee, trying to reach Canada. The Nez Perce stay one step ahead of the army for three months, but they are finally surrounded and forced to surrender.
