All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers.

We did not know there were other people besides the Indian until about one hundred winters ago, when some men with white faces came to our country.

I pressed my father's hand and told him I would protect his grave with my life. My father smiled and passed away to the spirit land.

We ask to be recognized as men.

I will speak with a straight tongue.

The eye tells what the tongue would hide.

The white men told lies for each other. They drove off a great many of our cattle. Some branded our young cattle so they could claim them.
