Governor Isaac Stevens of the Washington Territory said there were a great many white people in our country, and many more would come; that he wanted the land marked out so that the Indians and the white man could be separated.

The earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the neasure of our bodies are the same

The Great Spirit Chief who rules above all will smile upon this land... and this time the Indian race is waiting and praying.

I cannot tell how much my heart suffered for my people while at Leavenworth.

My people were divided about surrendering.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian, he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow.

We do not want churches. They will teach us to quarrel about God.
