The Nez Perce Chief Who Refused To Surrender 40 Miles From Canada — Then Slipped Past The Army And Escaped

And it is the story that is still unfinished — because the nimíipuu are still here, still maintaining their relationship to their history and their land, still traveling the route of the 1877 flight in ceremonial remembrance, still working through the courts and the councils and the negotiations that are the contemporary form of the same long argument.
White Bird escaped to Canada forty miles from the border.
The border exists.
