The Nez Perce Chief Who Refused To Surrender 40 Miles From Canada — Then Slipped Past The Army And Escaped
These are not re-enactments in the theatrical sense; they are acts of living connection to an event that shaped the communities that exist today.
Why The Flight Did Not End At Bear Paw
The standard narrative of the Nez Perce War ends at Bear Paw, with Joseph’s surrender and his famous speech.
This ending is understandable as a narrative device — the speech is genuinely moving, the visual image of surrender is historically significant, and the Bear Paw was the last major military engagement of the 1877 conflict.
But it is not accurate as a description of what actually happened.
