The government sent the one-armed soldier-chief, General Oliver Otis Howard, to clear all Nez Percé out of Wallowa Valley. Chief Joseph, in a succession of shrewd military actions, outmaneuvered ten pursuing units of the U.S. Army until his outnumbered band -- sick, starving, and tired -- finally surrendered after a 1700-mile, 108-day fighting retreat. On October 8, 1877, Chief Joseph made his noble speech, "from where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

It is sad to see how we herded the indians into reservation from east to west.
I guess this was the last of the free indians until Grant's order came down.
Excellent movie. Recommend.
I saw that back when it first aired; then again about 10 years ago. It is a most thought provoking movie.
