Chief Joseph

Just looking at my name, for example, my name is Joseph Lakota Lucio, right? My middle name is Lakota.

First name is Joseph actually for Chief Joseph of the Nest Purse.

Lakota, of course, is for the Lakota nations and all the Lakota tribes in the northern part of the United States.

There's many different tribes that are Lakota.

May I never quit.

May I never be a Chief Joseph when he stood there that day and said from where the sun now shines, I will fight no more forever.

But God give me grace to fight till the sun goes down and fight till it rises again to never lay my weapon down.

Satan can get you to confess a weakness or a fear that he can

He is a born strategist.

He has shown his ability as a warrior in all of his battles with the white race from the time of John Smith to the masterly retreat of Chief Joseph.

So far as the writer is aware, the only real battle with white men in which he was outwitted by strategy was at Bushy Run in Pennsylvania, when Colonel Bouquet showed superior ability to Kayasutha as a strategist.

It is small wonder, then, that the Indian has again made a name for himself in this greatest of all wars, in which the choicest soldiers of all nations have taken part.

Crazy Horse was born on the Republican River about 1845. he was killed at fort robinson nebraska in eighteen seventy seven so that he lived barely thirty-three years he was an uncommonly handsome man while not the equal of gall in magnificence and imposing stature he was physically perfect an apollo in symmetry Furthermore, he was a true type of Indian refinement and grace.

He was modest and courteous as Chief Joseph.

The difference is that he was a born warrior, while Joseph was not.

However, he was a gentle warrior, a true brave, who stood for the highest ideal of the Sioux.

He was never involved in any of the numerous massacres on the trails.

but was a leader in practically every open fight.

Such characters as those of Crazy Horse and Chief Joseph are not easily found among so-called civilized people.

The reputation of great men is apt to be shadowed by questionable motives and policies.

All right.

This date, 1877, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians surrendered to the evil, conniving white man with the words, "I will fight no more forever." It's a run-on sentence.

Anyway, uh, Ten Commandments, 1956, released this date.

Whoa, had a bunch of humanity in that one.
