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

I labored hard to avoid trouble and bloodshed.

Words do not pay for my dead people.

I am not a child, I think for myself. No man can think for me.

Treat all men alike. Give them the same law. Give them an even chance to live and grow.

Our people could not talk with these white-faced men, but they used signs which all people understand.

I only ask of the government to be treated as all other men are treated.
