<h3>Why does chief joseph mention "general Howard" in the first sentence in his speech?</h3>

Chief Joseph (1840–1904) led a number of Nez Perce bands that were compelled to leave their Wallowa Valley (Oregon) home in 1877 and relocate to a smaller reserve in Idaho, along with Chief Looking Glass and Chief White Bird.
However, Chief Joseph assisted a small number of Nez peoples in fleeing to the Canadian border when the U.S. Army, led by General Oliver O.
Howard arrived and after traveling hundreds of miles and repeatedly defeating the American Army, they were eventually forced to give up after being surrounded within 40 miles of Canada. They couldn't go back to their reservation.

Hence, that is why Chief joseph mentions "general Howard" in the first sentence of his speech because that is to whom he is surrendering.
