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

I only ask of the Government to be treated as all other men are treated. If I cannot go to my own home, let me have a home in a country where my people will not die so fast.

It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.

A chief called Lawyer, because he was a great talker, took the lead in the council, and sold nearly all the Nez Perce country.

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

Cursed be he that scalps the reputation of the dead.

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.
