Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other, then we will have no more wars. We shall all be alike-brothers of one father and one another, with one sky above us and one country around us, and one government for all.

Good words will not give me back my children.

I have heard talk and talk, but nothing is done.

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing.

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

We were like deer. They were like grizzly bear.

All men were made brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who was born free should be content when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases.
