This reminds me of a short novel I had to read back in elementary school. I think it was called "Thunder Rolling in the Mountains" (yes). The Native Americans were fleeing the colonials all the way up to the Canadian boarder. Later on, during the treaty process, they are given a relatively small parcel of land to rebuild their home. The book ends with Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce dieing from a "broken heart". I thought that was bullshit and that the author was using a euphemism for a heart attack. ~20 years later I guess I am proven wrong.
