We gave up some of our country to the white men, thinking that then we could have peace. We were mistaken. The white man would not let us alone.

A man who would not love his father's grave is worse than a wild animal.

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.

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises. There has been too much talking by men who had no right to talk. It does not require many words to speak the truth.

My father was the first to see through the schemes of the white man.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.

Some of you think an Indian is like a wild animal. This is a great mistake.
