"The Great Spirit made us all. He made the white man and the red man. He gave us different ways. We should respect each other's ways."

"They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it."

"I wish to be left in peace. I do not wish to be in contact with the white man, nor do I wish to be disturbed by him."

"I am a man. I have a pipe. I have a home. I have a family. I have children. I have a voice. I will speak."

"If a man loses a horse, he can buy another, but he cannot buy a life."
