(2) I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed, Looking-glass is dead. Too-hul-hul-suit is dead. The old men are all dead. It is
the young men, now, who say 'yes' or 'no' that is, vote in council)]. He who led on the young men [Joseph's brother, Ollicut]

away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. 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; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever!
