I Will Fight No More Forever (1975) (TV) Re-enactment of the story of Chief Joseph of the Nez Percé Indians, who lived in the beautiful Wallowa Valley of Idaho and Oregon. In 1877, President Grant opened the Valley to white settlement, and the Nez Percé were given 30 days in which to move to the Lapwai Reservation. 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.

A dog named Christmas is a wonderful Hallmark hall of fame movie that
has a great story to tell for Christmas. Adopt/foster a pet for Christmas. It
is working with petfinder.com to find homes for homeless pets.

We just went and saw that this weekend too. I agree with you it was a great movie. Cam and I just had to google him as soon as we got home so we could see how he's been doing with the Baltimore Ravens this year.

I did the same thing, and he is doing very well for himself.
