Question: This excerpt from a speech in 1877 is attributed to what Native American leader?
Answer: The correct answer is: Chief Joseph of Nez Pierce.
Explanation: The Native American Leader Chief Joseph surrendered to U.S. troops on October 5th, 1877, after he and his tribe (the Nez Perce) fought during a retreat along the West with the objective of reaching Canada. When they were 40 miles away from the border, they surrendered to the U.S troops. His surrender speech immortalized him in American history forever. One of the most touching part of his speech was the following:
''...I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever."
