The Nez Perce Chief Who Refused To Surrender 40 Miles From Canada — Then Slipped Past The Army And Escaped
He escaped to Canada.
He died there.
The nimíipuu he was part of survived — diminished, displaced, changed, but present.
The people who walk the trail and ride the route today are the inheritors of all the decisions made in 1877, including the decision to refuse the surrender terms and cross forty miles of northern Montana plain in October cold.
Those forty miles were crossed.
The Canada that waited on the other side was not the sanctuary that had been hoped for.
