I cannot tell how much my heart suffered for my people while at Leavenworth.
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.
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.
Cursed be he that scalps the reputation of the dead.
I only ask of the government to be treated as all other men are treated.
