I do not believe that the Great Spirit Chief gave one kind of men the right to tell another kind of men what they must do.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

When my young men began the killing, my heart was hurt.

I labored hard to avoid trouble and bloodshed.

Treat all men alike. Give them the same law. Give them an even chance to live and grow.

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.

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises. There has been too much talking by men who had no right to talk. It does not require many words to speak the truth.
