Top of poster has a black and white photograph of two Northern American Indian men side by side. Both have straight shoulder length black hair that is parted at the center, both are wearing a white necklace like item that hangs most of the way down their bare torsos. The figure at right is seated and the figure at left is standing with his arm on the seated man's shoulder. The bottom of the poster has the text: "I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead, the old men are dead. / It is the young men who say no and yes. He who led the young men is dead. It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freexing to / death. My people, some of them have run away to the hills and have no blankets - no food. No one knows where they are - perhaps they are / freezing to death. / I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs, / I am tired, my heart is sad and sick. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. / Surrender Speech of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perc
