Editorial Review: Description: Produced by Emmy-winner David Wolper (Roots), I Will Fight No More Forever powerfully reenacts the heroic and tragic true story of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce Indians, whose land in Oregon's Wallowa Valley was opened in 1877 to white settlement by President Ulysses S. Grant. The Nez Perce are given 30 days in which to relocate to the Lapwai Reservation. Chief Joseph (Ned Romero), a respected leader, initially advocates peace, but over the course of the grueling 1,700-mile journey, Joseph shrewdly outmaneuvers ten pursuing units of the U.S. Army. Academy Awardâ nominee James Whitmore costars as compassionate General Oliver Howard, who is duty-bound to carry out orders he considers unjust. Sam Elliott also stars as his aide, Captain Wood.

Since the US Calvary was given the task to round all Native Americans up and put them on a reservation and many European settlers didn't care about their rights, it was often done with a heavy hand. ...

My students, who are new to this country, tell me the readings in our text come to life when visualized.Yes, there are some severe scenes of violence, shootings, but this is the reality of the history. Do prepare your students first by reading about Chief Joseph and his people before viewing. I also use a story map, graphic ...
