I saw that the war could not be prevented. The time had passed.

Good words will not give me back my children.

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

When an Indian fights, he only shoots to kill.

Cursed be he that scalps the reputation of the dead.

I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

I saw clearly that war was upon us when I learned that my young men had been secretly buying ammunition.
