One is standing, the other seated. Below the photograph is black text that reads: "I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking glass is dead, the old men are all 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 freezing 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 Perce".
