I will speak with a straight tongue.
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.
War can be avoided, and it ought to be avoided. I want no war.
My people were divided about surrendering.
The Indian race is waiting and praying.
I would have given my own life if I could have undone the killing of white men by my people.
