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.

The earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the neasure of our bodies are the same

I have asked some of the great white chiefs where they get their authority to say to the Indian that he shall stay in one place, while he sees white men going where they please. They cannot tell me.

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.

I said in my heart that, rather than have war, I would give up my country.

My people were divided about surrendering.

I did not want my people killed. I did not want bloodshed.
