"I have killed, I have scalped, I have plundered, I have done all that is bad. But I have done it for my people, to defend my homeland."

"The white man has a tongue of forked lightning."

"I do not wish to be shut up in a corral. All agency Indians I have seen are worthless. They are neither red warriors nor white farmers."

"The white man draws a circle around himself and calls it a fence. We draw a circle around ourselves and call it a nation."
