"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 thinks he is wise. But he does not know the wisdom of the earth. He does not know the wisdom of the animals."

"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."
