I would like to see pictures of Chief Joseph and hear everything you know about the Nez Perce (did he have a pierced nose?) chief whose real name was something like Hin-mak-ta-tut-ankh-amun-pharaoh-I'll Google it.

My mother looks like him and if she could be a superhero, she'd be Chief Joseph back from the dead.

Plus I'm doing some historical research for a biography I'm writing of Gen. Rufus Saxton. O.O. Howard comes into it, as a guy who dealt much with both Rufus Saxton and Chief Joseph, both of whom happened to be connected with the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, where I'm from.

He looks embarrassed.

Everywhere I turn the last two weeks, I'm hearing or reading about the Nez Perce. I think it means something.

It means you should pierce your nose.

I've been to that sign there, I think! My grandparents lived in the Bitterroot Valley for a time, which is where I learned about the Nez Perce and Chief Joseph. It was many years ago, though, and my memories are dim...

I lived between Corvallis and Hamilton, MT (1976-1984), on the western side of the valley.

How green was your valley?

verdant to the extreme
actually not - dry and brown in summer.
but evergreen all the same

Ain't it just so fucked that such nobility can be crushed into oblivion without so much as a how-do-you-do? This country is soaked with blood. It is no wonder that we are so screwed up.

You misspelled "Keith Joseph" there, chum.

I used to have a huge B&W poster of him in my room as a child. It comforted me at night, for some reason.
