Good Words: Chief Joseph and the Production of Indian Speech(Es), Texts, and Subjects
Good Words: Chief Joseph and the Production of Indian Speech(es), Texts, and Subjects Thomas H. Guthrie, Guilford College Abstract. Chief Joseph, who gained fame during the Nez Perce War of 1877, is one of the best-known Indian orators in American history. Yet the two principal texts attributed to him were produced under questionable circumstances, and it is unclear to what extent they represent anything he ever said. This essay examines the publication history of these texts and then addresses two questions about the treatment of Indian oratory in the nineteenth century. First, given their uncertain provenance, how and why did these texts become so popular and come to rep- resent Indian eloquence and an authentic Native American voice? Second, what was the political significance of Indian speech and texts of Indian oratory in the confrontation between Euro-Americans and Indians over land? I argue that the production and interpretation of Indian speech facilitated political subjugation by figuring Indians as particular kinds of subjects and positioning them in a broader narrative about the West. The discursive and political dimensions of the encounter were inseparable, as Indian “eloquence” laid the way for Indian defeat. I conclude by advocating a disruptive reading of Indian oratory that rejects the belief that a real Indian subject lies behind these texts in any straightforward sense. To make this argument, I draw on linguistic anthropology and critical theory, analyzing firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, and descriptions of Indian speech and Nez Perce history. In 1879 the North American Review published an article titled “An Indian’s View of Indian Affairs” that was attributed to Chief Joseph, or In-mut- too-yah-lat-lat (ca. -

The Tonkawa had a distinct language, and their name, as that of the leading tribe, was applied to their linguistic family. They were one of the most warlike tribes during nearly two centu- ries of conflict with their enemy tribes on the Western plains and with the Spanish and, later, American settlers in the Southwest. Their men were famous warriors, and their chiefs bore many scars of battle. The Tonkawa women were also strong physically and vindictive in disposition. The people of this tribe were no- madic in their habits in the early his- toric period, moving their tipi villages according to the wishes of the chiefs Winnie and Chief Grant Richards ca. 1898 of the different bands. They planted a few crops, but were well known as great hunters of buffalo and deer, using bows and arrows and spears for weapons, as well as some firearms secured from early Spanish traders. -

HEARING ON SJR 13 Presentation and opening statement by sponsor: Senator Greg Jergeson from Senate DistrictB presented SJR 13, a joint resolution urging congress to amend Nez Perce National Historical Park. Senator Jergeson said that his district encompasses the Bear Paw Battlefield site and that last session he served on the Natural Resources subco~mittee. Exhibits 1. One of the things that the committee did was meet jointly with the long range building committee and try to make some decisions on the Montana State Park system and within that system is included the Bear Paw Battlefield. The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks had suggested in their proposal to charge fees for entrance and use of their state parks with the Bear Paw Battlefield site being one of the places where fees would be set. The Senator said that at the time he objected to a fee being charged because it was not a preserved area. The sponsor said that since the last session a great many people from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana have worked on a ED021191.SMI SENATE EDUCATION COMMITTEE February 11, 1991 Page 2 of 4 proposal to get several of these sites included into the national park system in the state of Montana.
