Circa 1890: Chief Joseph (circa 1840 – 1904) of the Nez Perce. After attempting to lead his people to freedom in Canada, he was forced to surrender about 30 miles from the border, where he pledged that ‘from where the sun now stands I will fight no more’. (Photo by MPI/Getty Images)
Last week I watched Ken Burns’ THE WEST.
I know it is essential viewing.
I first learned of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce from Will Henry’s book THE BEAR PAW HORSES which I received from the author himself.
That book led me to read all the books by Will Henry Allen.
It led me to look deeper.
In the mid-1980s Rene Highway, the brother of artist/musician/playwright Thomson Highway, asked to live with me.
Through Rene I came to know many from our indigenous community.
From them I learned.–Reg Hartt
