I labored hard to avoid trouble and bloodshed.

We are going by you without fighting if you will let us, but we are going by you anyhow!

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

I know that my race must change.

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.

We had a great many horses, of which we gave Lewis and Clark what they needed, and they gave us guns and tobacco in return.

Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work.
