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

"I have heard you talk of the white man's law. I have seen the white man's law. It is not for us."

"I am a red man. I am proud of my people. I am proud of my heritage."

"My heart is heavy. My spirit is sad. My people are suffering."

"I want to spend my time in my own way. I want to live in my own house. I want to be left alone."
