My father... had sharper eyes than the rest of our people.

The first white men of your people who came to our country were named Lewis and Clark.

For a short time we lived quietly. But this could not last. White men had found gold in the mountains around the land of winding water.

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

An Indian respects a brave man, but he despises a coward.

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

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing.
